Moxy NYC Times Square

The DNA

Moxy NYC Times Square: Big Style, No Ego
Historic bones, playful design, and that unmistakable New York pulse.


A Reinvention in the Heart of Manhattan

In a city that never stops, Moxy NYC Times Square manages to keep pace—without losing its cool. Set in the landmarked 1907 New Mills Hotel, this 612-room design-forward stay by Stonehill Taylor and Yabu Pushelberg is where historic grit meets modern wit. Forget the tired tropes of Midtown hotels—Moxy flips the script with bold spaces, smart design, and a no-fuss, high-style attitude.


Where Heritage Gets a Glow-Up

Stonehill Taylor’s architectural reimagining respects the building’s Beaux-Arts façade while infusing the interiors with a youthful, urban verve. Inside, Yabu Pushelberg’s signature aesthetic takes over: compact yet clever rooms that make every square inch count. Expect foldaway furniture, glass walk-in showers, cheeky wall art, and industrial details that balance warmth and edge. It’s a space designed for rest and recharge, but it never forgets the fun.


The Vibe: Midtown Energy, Moxy Attitude

Moxy NYC Times Square knows exactly who it is—big on character, light on pretense. With over 22,000 square feet of flexible event space, the hotel buzzes with creativity, from impromptu gatherings to curated cultural happenings. And then there’s the social scene: multiple lounges, a stylish lobby bar, and the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge—New York’s largest indoor/outdoor hotel rooftop—complete with skyline views, playful décor, and the city’s electric energy swirling all around.


Design with Personality

The rooms may be “micro,” but the design thinking is macro. Yabu Pushelberg’s team crafted interiors that feel equal parts cozy and cool—layered textures, clever lighting, and just enough irreverence to remind you that this is Moxy. Every room tells a story, but the overall effect is effortless: a modern traveler’s crash pad with serious style cred.


DNA Hotels Verdict

Moxy NYC Times Square is proof that style and substance don’t have to come with a five-star price tag. It’s playful but polished, historical yet hyper-modern—a hotel that captures the real energy of New York: bold, social, and endlessly alive. This isn’t just a place to sleep in Midtown—it’s a statement stay for those who want design, attitude, and authenticity, all in one unforgettable address.
