Sanctuary Hotel

Midtown


A few steps from Times Square, the 113-room Sanctuary Hotel offers a boutique vibe in the heart of Midtown. Leather headboards, twinkling chandeliers and red settees define the rooms, the cheapest of which are admittedly munchkin-sized. In-room showers come with a drawable curtain if you (or your traveling partner) wish to lather in private, while guests enjoy complimentary access to a nearby Equinox Sports Club.

Upstairs, the hotel's rooftop bar offers a rare view of Times Square.
