Rooms start at $80
8th Avenue (between W. 44th and 45th)

Nestled right in the heart of Broadway, this hotel is just steps from dozens of theaters and walking distance from Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Central Park.

Mayfair New York Hotel
W. 49th Street (between Broadway and 8th Avenue)
Double rooms from $104

It’s easy to be charmed by this aging beauty of a hotel. The photos of Broadway legends on the lobby’s wood-polished walls tell you everything about the location. Right next door is the Eugene O’Neill Theatre, currently home to the very popular “Book of Mormon”. Rooms are not trendy by any means, but they do come with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs.

Hotel St. James
W. 45th Street (Between 6th and 7th Avenues)
Rooms from $102
Close to: Lyceum Theatre, Palace Theatre, Belasco Theatre
This two-star spot is a rare breed in New York City — a family-run hotel with incredibly low rates. As one of the best deals near Times Square, guests shouldn’t expect luxury. But the simple rooms and sparkling clean bathrooms are well worth the price. The sitting lounge in the back of the hotel is a nice place to flip through your guidebook before heading out for the day.

Hotel @ Times Square
W. 46th Street (Between 5th and 6th Avenues)
Rooms from $93
Close to: Belasco Theatre, Lyceum Theatre, Palace Theatre
This three-star hotel has two cheapo qualities we love — a prime location and reasonable rates! Just steps from Times Square and Rockefeller Center, the spacious rooms (for Manhattan standards) make for a great home base to see a Broadway show. Toss in a free breakfast and an outdoor terrace, and you have one of the best deals in Midtown.
A renovated room at the Hotel Edison puts you just steps from your Broadway show! Photo: Booking.com
Hotel Edison
W. 47th Street (Between Broadway and 8th Avenues)
Rooms from $90
Close to: Brooks Atkinson Theatre, Barrymore Theatre, Longacre Theatre, Richard Rodgers Theatre
Smack dab in the heart of the Theater District, this three-star hotel has been hosting Broadway fans since 1931. Request one of the renovated rooms for a more elegant hotel stay, but you’ll save even more if you choose one of the older rooms. All rooms have a TV, air-conditioning, and telephone.
