The place
The 633-foot tower occupies the northeast corner of Broadway and West 54th Street in Midtown Manhattan, at the northern edge of the Times Square/Theater District corridor.
The concept
RIU Plaza New York is the Spanish group's third hotel in Manhattan, after the RIU Plaza New York Times Square (2017) and the RIU Plaza Manhattan Times Square (2022), a 54-story, 633-foot tower with a glass curtain wall and a street-level podium of retail and signage typical of the Times Square area. RIU acquired the site (previously a low-rise office building) in 2023 and has been building steadily since, reaching street level in late 2025 and roughly the halfway mark by spring 2026.
Dining & wellness
Plans confirmed by RIU and construction press include two 300-seat restaurants and a lounge bar, though menus, chefs and interior finishes have not been detailed publicly.
