Moxy Times Square hotel opens in New York City

The Moxy Times Square has opened in New York City, a stone’s throw from Madison Square Gardens.

Formerly the New Mills Hotel, built in 1907 in Midtown Manhattan on 36th Street and 7th Avenue, the Moxy has 612 bedrooms and over 2,000 sqm of event space.

Saying goodbye to old-school hotel technology, bedrooms feature fast and free Wi-Fi, Bluetooth soundbars, and large flat-screen HDTVs with personal screencasting technology allowing guests to stream Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and more.

"Together with [property developer] Lightstone, we set out to create a new paradigm within the New York hotel scene by bringing together the best-in-class in design, food & beverage and retail and giving them the freedom to allow their imaginations to run wild," said Toni Stoeckl, global brand leader and vice president, Marriott International’s Distinctive Select Brands.
