About the property

What makes The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection worth the points.

The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection is one of Midtown Manhattan’s most storied boutique hotels, set at 59 West 44th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. Opened in 1902, it is designated both a New York City Historic Landmark and a National Literary Landmark, with a reputation shaped by writers, actors and the famous Algonquin Round Table. Its location is central without feeling like a Times Square tower: the hotel sits on a quieter side-street block while remaining a short walk from Broadway theaters, Times Square, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center and Fifth Avenue shopping. Nearby subway stations around Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center make it practical for reaching the rest of Manhattan. Inside, the emphasis is on historic character, intimate public spaces and literary atmosphere rather than large-scale resort facilities. Guests will find complimentary Wi-Fi, a 24-hour fitness center, a 24-hour business center, meeting rooms, valet parking for a fee and pet-friendly policies with a non-refundable pet fee. Food and drink are part of the hotel’s identity. Blue Bar serves as the signature cocktail venue, while the lobby restaurant/lounge offers American cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a setting that continues the property’s long tradition as a Midtown social hub.

Timing

When to go.

Live · you're in August
Best time
May–Jun, Sep–Oct

These shoulder-season months usually offer mild, comfortable weather with lower crowds and prices than the summer and holiday peaks, while avoiding New York’s hottest, most humid period.

Avoid
Jan–Feb, Jul–Aug, Dec

January and February are the coldest winter months and commonly the cheapest but least comfortable for weather; July and August bring the hottest, most humid summer conditions; December is a peak holiday month with higher prices and heavier crowds.

From the analysis

A few more timing notes.

Spring and fall are strong times to stay if you want walkable sightseeing in Midtown with generally milder weather.
The holiday season is convenient for Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue displays and theater trips, but Midtown is especially busy around major attractions.
Summer can be useful for travelers prioritizing Broadway, museums and shopping, with the hotel’s central location reducing transit time in hot weather.
Weeknights and major business-travel periods can feel more corporate in Midtown, while weekends are especially attractive for theater-focused leisure trips.
The fine print
  • · There is no dedicated club or executive lounge at the hotel.
  • · No pool or full-service spa is listed among the property amenities.
  • · Room sizes and exact suite names are not fully published in the public overview, so confirm the booking-flow details before reserving.
  • · Valet parking is available for a daily fee, which is typical for Midtown Manhattan but should be budgeted separately.
