Tempo by Hilton Times Square Is a Stylish Stay in the Heart of NYC

The latest swanky hotel to hit Times Square is so posh even the locals can’t help but be curious.

Perhaps taking the lyrics “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere” to heart, Hilton Hotels debuted its new brand, Tempo by Hilton, in Fall 2023 with the opening of the Tempo by Hilton Times Square in New York City.

The 661-room hotel is in the still-under-construction TSX Broadway retail and entertainment complex. This location is the brand’s flagship property, with 32 more hotels planned over the next several years. The vibe here is upscale and stylish and strikes a balance — calming elements in the décor and guest room touches offset the energy of the city and the bustling location. As Matthew Belsito, director of marketing for Tempo by Hilton Times Square, says, “The hotel was intentionally designed to create moments of relaxation, inspiration, and rejuvenation.”

The tone is set as soon as you check into the hotel: The lobby features a trendy check-in area and comfortable seating nooks. Befitting an NYC hotel, the spaces at Tempo are multifunctional, offering spaces to work, dine, and catch up with friends. During the day the dining area is anchored by the food and beverage outlet Grab & Go. The selections here are plentiful and delicious. In the evening, Highball Tempo’s restaurant and cocktail lounge takes center stage with such NYC classics as pastrami sliders or mini hot dogs and signature cocktails. The hotel features a year-round dining terrace — an oasis for watching the city scene below. For those who are sober, sober-curious, or just not interested in a hangover the next morning, the nonalcoholic selection is anything but boring: Highball is as serious about its mocktails as its cocktails.

When it comes to rooms, it’s not too early to start thinking of booking one of Tempo’s 31 centerpiece “Ball Drop” rooms for New Year’s Eve 2025. Not only does the hotel offer prime views of the action, but a number of rooms have sweeping vistas across the city to the Hudson River. Modern conveniences, such as a Bluetooth-enabled mirror in the bathroom, and lighting that turns on when guests enter the room then dims at sunset, add to the hotel’s flair. And those who want to keep up with their exercise routines can reserve a “Wellness Room” outfitted with a Peloton Bike, yoga mat, and resistance bands, or visit the hotel’s 24-hour fitness center.

Whether booking a stay or coming in to dine and enjoy a drink before or after a show, Tempo by Hilton Times Square should be on your radar for your next NYC visit.
