A Look Inside Margaritaville Resort Times Square

See all photos →

Location: two Midtown bases for sightseeing

Margaritaville Resort Times Square – Location

Margaritaville sits in the Theater District with Times Square and Broadway just outside the door.

  • Times Square a 1-minute walk; Bryant Park about 5 minutes on foot
  • Near subway access: Times Square–42 St and Port Authority lines
  • Walking access to Madison Square Garden, Rockefeller Center and many theatres

Best if you want poolside downtime without leaving Midtown’s theatre and tourist scene.

Hyatt Centric Times Square New York – Location

Hyatt Centric places you directly in Times Square, a short walk to Broadway and midtown attractions.

  • Address: 135 W 45th St, steps from Broadway and Times Square
  • About 0.2 mi (0.4 km) from Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park
  • Good for quick access to theatres, shops and major Midtown sights

Best if absolute centrality to Broadway and Times Square is your top priority.

Rooms: Margaritaville’s island suites vs Hyatt Centric’s larger inventory

Margaritaville Resort Times Square – Rooms

Margaritaville offers 234 rooms with island-inspired names and a handful of suites with sofa beds.

  • 14 room types including Premium, Deluxe, Standard rooms and Suite, with Sofa bed
  • Rooms are designed with island-themed touches and in-room refrigerators
  • Mobile/ contactless check-in; family-friendly bedding policies (children may stay free)

A smaller, themed roster of rooms that caters to families and leisure stays.

Dining & drinks: island menus vs Hyatt Centric convenience

Margaritaville Resort Times Square – Dining & drinks

Margaritaville’s dining focuses on Caribbean/American comfort, rooftop cocktails and poolside service.

  • Margaritaville Restaurant & Tiki Bar (two-story flagship) serves breakfast–midnight with signature dishes
  • LandShark Bar & Grill serves poolside American/coastal fare; poolside ordering available
  • Rooftop 5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar and License to Chill Lobby Bar provide rooftop and Times Square views

Choose Margaritaville for themed menus, multiple venues and poolside dining options.

Hyatt Centric Times Square New York – Dining & drinks

  • T45 Market offers to-go breakfasts and daytime meals; to-go breakfasts available 6 AM–11 AM for a fee

Pools & rooftop spaces: a key differentiator

Margaritaville Resort Times Square – Pools & rooftop spaces

Margaritaville’s rooftop pool is a defining feature and operates year-round with seasonal hours.

  • Heated rooftop pool on 6th floor with lifeguard on duty daily
  • Private cabanas and poolside food/drink service from LandShark Bar & Grill
  • Pool access is primarily for hotel guests; limited day passes/cabanas may be available

If a rooftop pool in Midtown matters, Margaritaville is the clear choice.

Hyatt Centric Times Square New York – Pools & rooftop spaces

Hyatt Centric’s supplier listing does not publish an on-site pool.

  • No on-site pool is published in the supplier listing
  • Fitness facilities are available 24/7 at the hotel
  • Spa is listed as 'health or beauty spa nearby' rather than an on-site spa

Hyatt Centric focuses on city-hotel amenities and fitness rather than an on-site pool.

Wellness & nightlife: workout options and evening spots

Margaritaville Resort Times Square – Wellness & nightlife

Margaritaville emphasizes a 24-hour fitness center plus multiple nightlife bars and rooftop venues.

  • FINS UP! Fitness Center — 24-hour access included in resort fee
  • Multiple bars: 5 o'Clock Somewhere Rooftop, License to Chill, LandShark Bar & Grill
  • Rooftop venues offer skyline views and evenings geared to cocktails and light bites

Good for guests who want both around-the-clock workouts and on-site bars with city views.

Hyatt Centric Times Square New York – Wellness & nightlife

Hyatt Centric provides 24-hour fitness and an on-site bar/lounge for evening drinks.

  • 24-hour fitness facilities available
  • Number of bars/lounges listed as 1; concierge and business services for evening planning
  • Nearby Broadway theatres and Midtown nightlife are a short walk away

Better if you plan to use a fitness center and spend evenings at nearby theatres or restaurants rather than at hotel nightlife.
