New York Marriott Marquis – Location

New York Marriott Marquis sits on 1535 Broadway in the middle of Times Square and the theater district.

  • Steps from Broadway theaters and within walking distance of Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park.
  • Central Midtown location makes sightseeing, dining, and shows walkable for many visitors.
  • Nearest airports are LGA (~10.7 mi) and JFK (~18 mi by road); expect longer transfers to/from airports.

Pick Marriott Marquis for a central Manhattan base if you want to be in the theater and Midtown action.

Rooms: on‑airport practicality vs scale and views

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport – Rooms

TWA Hotel offers 512 rooms with runway or historic terminal views and several suite tiers.

  • Room types include Deluxe Room (Historic TWA View), Deluxe Room (Runway View), Executive Suites and Presidential Suites.
  • Free Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas; rooms suitable for short layovers, overnight and day‑use bookings.
  • Check‑in begins at 4:00 PM and check‑out is 11:00 AM; Daytripper hourly bookings are available.

  • Standard check‑in begins at 4:00 PM and check‑out is 11:00 AM per supplier listing.

Pick Marriott Marquis if you need many room options, corner rooms, or a Times Square view.

Dining & drinks: runway‑adjacent venues vs broad Midtown options

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport – Dining & drinks

TWA Hotel concentrates dining around aviation‑themed venues and a multi‑vendor Food Hall.

  • Paris Café by Jean‑Georges serves breakfast, lunch and dinner; Joe Coffee and an Intelligentsia bar serve earlier hours.
  • Connie Cocktail Lounge sits in a restored 1958 Lockheed Constellation on the tarmac; The Sunken Lounge and Pool Bar add cocktail options.
  • Food Hall offers grab‑and‑go options like Fly‑By Bagels, Vinny's Panini and Mister Softee for late or quick meals.

TWA works for culinary experiences tied to the aviation theme and convenient grab‑and‑go choices before flights.

Pools & signature amenity: rooftop runway pool vs none listed

TWA Hotel at JFK Airport – Pools & signature amenity

  • Pool open year‑round and heated up to 95°F in winter; guests get reservation‑free swim access 7:00–10:45 AM daily.
  • Pool reservations required May 1–Nov 1 for paid slots; non‑hotel day passes are available outside winter months.

If a rooftop pool with runway views matters, TWA is the clear choice.

New York Marriott Marquis – Pools & signature amenity

  • Supplier listing does not describe a rooftop infinity pool or similar signature outdoor pool amenity.
  • Marriott focuses on indoor facilities and meeting/convention space rather than an aviation‑view pool experience.

Marriott Marquis offers substantial meeting and guest services but not the runway‑view rooftop pool experience.

  • TWA Fitness includes a Peloton room and yoga studio and is free for registered overnight and Daytripper guests.
  • Connie Cocktail Lounge, The Sunken Lounge and Pool Bar provide evening drinking options with retro themes.
