Every now and then a four-star earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Hyatt Regency Times Square, in Manhattan, is one of those. What gives the place its edge is the address itself: within an easy walk of the city centre, a detail that consistently shows up in what guests write afterwards. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. The vibe lands somewhere between residential and editorial, which is rarer than it sounds. With around 960 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Pricing has been sitting near €318 a night and the value score puts it in a middle-of-the-road bracket compared with similar properties. Stack Hyatt Regency Times Square against the better-known names in New York and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
