The Knickerbocker Hotel is a historic five-star property located at the southeast corner of 42nd Street and Broadway in the heart of Times Square, New York City. Originally opened in 1906 by John Jacob Astor IV, the hotel was a social and cultural landmark in the early 20th century, known for its opulent Beaux-Arts design, lavish parties, and celebrity clientele. After several decades of repurposing—including a period as the Newsweek Building—the hotel was meticulously restored and reopened in 2015, blending its rich architectural legacy with modern luxury and contemporary style.
The hotel features 300 refined guest rooms and suites, all designed with clean lines, calming neutral tones, and upscale finishes. High ceilings, large windows with views of Times Square or Bryant Park, and bespoke furnishings create a sophisticated atmosphere, while Stearns & Foster Euro-top mattresses, SFERRA Egyptian cotton linens, and Ploh goose down pillows ensure a luxurious sleep experience.
Dining at The Knickerbocker is led by celebrity chef Charlie Palmer, with signature offerings including Charlie Palmer Steak, an elevated American steakhouse, and St. Cloud Rooftop, a bar and lounge featuring handcrafted cocktails, small plates, and sweeping views of the Times Square skyline. St. Cloud also includes private sky pods and a seasonal cigar lounge, making it a standout destination above the city bustle.
Additional amenities include a well-equipped fitness center, in-room spa services, curated music playlists, and complimentary access to Aaptiv virtual fitness coaching. The hotel is pet-friendly, providing accommodations and treats for four-legged guests.
Ideal for both business travelers and tourists, The Knickerbocker delivers timeless elegance and high-touch service at one of the most iconic intersections in the world, offering a rare combination of tranquility and excitement in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
