About the property

What makes The Chatwal worth the points.

The Chatwal is a luxury boutique hotel at 130 West 44th Street in Midtown Manhattan’s Theater District, positioned between Sixth Avenue and Broadway near Times Square. Its location is especially convenient for Broadway theaters, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center and the wider entertainment and media corridor of Midtown. The hotel occupies the historic Lambs Club Building, a 1905 Stanford White-designed clubhouse originally created for the Lambs theatrical social club. The building is a New York City landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, giving the property a more storied identity than a typical Midtown luxury hotel. Following a 2007–2010 renovation led by Thierry Despont, The Chatwal reopened with Art Deco–inspired interiors that evoke old New York glamour while adding modern boutique-hotel service. The property has 76 rooms and suites, with a notable share of suites and some terrace accommodations that offer rare private outdoor space in Midtown. Amenities are compact but high-end: the Chatwal Wellness Center includes a resistance-style pool, spa services and a 24-hour fitness center, while all guest rooms are noted as offering complimentary wireless internet access and butler service. Dining centers on The Lambs Club Restaurant, a modern American restaurant that connects the hotel’s present-day luxury experience to its theatrical past.

Timing

When to go.

Live · you're in July
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.

For Broadway-focused trips, the hotel’s Theater District location is useful year-round; choose dates around the shows and performance times you want most.
If you want to be near Times Square, Bryant Park and Rockefeller Center during major Midtown events or holiday periods, this location is highly convenient but best booked with crowd levels in mind.
For a wellness-focused city stay, the on-site pool, spa services and 24-hour fitness center make the hotel practical in any season, including colder or rainy New York days.
Fine print
  • · The hotel does not advertise a traditional club or executive lounge in the provided sources.
