About the hotel
Designed by architect Frank Williams, the tower at 1567 Broadway opened in 2001, and Starwood treated it as a design model for the W brand's rapid expansion. It stands in Times Square at the heart of the Theater District, a short walk from Radio City Music Hall and the Museum of Modern Art. The hotel, now part of Marriott Bonvoy, has The Living Room bar, the two-level seafood restaurant Blue Fin with a street-level sushi bar, and Dos Caminos Mexican restaurant.
