Latest News About Hotel Riu Plaza New York Times Square

Here’s the latest I can provide based on current public reports:

• RIU Plaza Manhattan Times Square is the newer high-rise hotel from RIU in Midtown Manhattan, following their first NY property near Times Square opened earlier in the decade. It’s positioned on Restaurant Row with a modern 47+ floor building and hundreds of rooms designed for business and leisure guests. Availability and branding vary by source, but the property has been marketed as RIU’s flagship urban hotel in New York.[1][2][3]

• The hotel opened around late 2025 after RIU’s initial Times Square property. Reports note a 647–656-room capacity, with amenities such as on-site dining, meeting spaces, a gym, and Grab & Go options. Investment and development were described as substantial for RIU’s urban portfolio.[2][3][4]

• For travelers, the property sits on the edge of Theatre District and Times Square, offering straightforward access to Broadway, restaurants, and transit. Guests typically expect modern rooms, conference facilities, and on-site dining options given RIU’s Plaza branding.[3][1]

Notes and caveats:

• Details like exact room count, open/close dates, and branding can vary slightly by source and over time as properties update their offerings or rebrand. If you’re planning a stay or need the latest price and availability, I can pull the most recent official RIU pages or hotel listing sites and summarize current rates and policies.

Would you like me to fetch the latest official RIU page and a couple of major travel sites to confirm the current room count, amenities, and upcoming event notices? I can also compare this property with the original RIU Plaza New York Times Square property for context.
