The Pod Times Square, Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, New York
The Pod Times Square is a hotel in midtown Manhattan, New York, a short walk from Broadway theaters, shops, and restaurants. The rooms, called pods, are compact and designed to make good use of limited space, each with a bed, a small desk, and a television.
The hotel opened during a period when midtown Manhattan was seeing a rise in demand for affordable, centrally located lodging aimed at short-stay travelers. Over time, it expanded its offer to include spaces for special occasions such as proposals.
The hotel sits in midtown Manhattan, so most major sights are within walking distance and the area is easy to navigate on foot. Several subway stations are nearby, making it straightforward to reach other parts of the city when needed.
The hotel has a rooftop lounge with open views over Manhattan, which is an unusual feature for a property in such a central and densely built part of the city. The pods are also fitted with touch screens that let guests control lighting and room temperature from their bed.
