Hilton New York Times Square has unveiled a $20 million renovation, reimagining its public spaces with a refined, contemporary aesthetic.

The transformation, led by PBDW Architects in collaboration with the Gettys Group, includes a redesigned ground floor lobby, an elevated 15th-floor Sky Lobby, and three new F&B concepts.

A reimagined arrival experience

The ground floor welcomes guests with a calming palette of pastels and neutrals, accented by details that nod to the opulence of New York’s Gilded Age.

Ascending to the Sky Lobby on the 15th floor, visitors are transported into a tranquil retreat above the city’s bustling energy. Here, a curated selection of artwork by Celine Mo of Dinner Gallery further immerses guests in the creative spirit of New York, with QR codes offering background information and the option to purchase pieces directly.

The 15th floor is also home to the hotel’s three new dining experiences. 42nd and Sky Lounge channels the glamour of the 1920s with a Gatsby-style atmosphere, while High Rise offers a daily buffet experience. For guests on the go, Long Acre Market provides a selection of quick bites.
