The Premier Hotel New York

A half block away from Times Square and already the mood here is fantastically low-key. This is the fancier wing of the gigantic, generic Millennium Broadway hotel next door. The 125 rooms here have floor-to-ceiling windows and minimalist design, and there’s free breakfast and wine and snacks at happy hour. The Premier Hotel isn’t going to blow any minds—it’s just a pleasant, reliable place to stay right in the center of the bustle.
