Marriott Marquis New York Hotel, Times Square

The New York Marriott Marquis is located at 1535 Broadway, on the west side of Times Square, between West 45th and West 46th streets, in the Theater District of Midtown Manhattan. It opened in 1985, has 1,971 rooms and is operated by Marriott International.

The hotel was designed by architect John C. Portman Jr. (1924-2017). It has two wings, one on 45th Street and one on 46th Street, and 101,000 sq ft (9,400 m2) of meeting space. The first two stories contain retail space, while the Marquis Theatre was built within the third floor. The hotel's atrium lobby is at the eighth floor and also includes meeting space and restaurants. Thirty-six stories of guestrooms rise above the lobby. The top three stories contain the View, one of New York City's highest restaurants.

The hotel was first announced in 1972 by the Western International Hotels, but it was postponed after the New York City fiscal crisis in 1975. Protests and lawsuits against demolition of five old theaters on the site delayed the beginning of construction until 1982. By that time, the Western had been replaced with Marriott.

The hotel opened on September 3, 1985, and has undergone several renovations and modifications since then. By the late 1990s, the hotel was one of the most profitable in the Marriott chain. Marriott purchased the Portman's minority ownership in 1993 and acquired the land in 2013.
