Merrion Row Hotel and Public House
Dublin townhouse meets Midtown Manhattan. Dark furniture, brass fixtures, large-format Irish landscape art on the walls. Cozy and unpretentious despite the location.
Book the Studio King if there are more than two of you — the sleeper sofa makes it work and you get 280 sq ft
Why It Matters
Michelin-listed boutique with only 28 rooms in the heart of Times Square — which sounds like a red flag but is actually the point. The property is legitimately quiet thanks to full soundproofing, and the Irish public house aesthetic gives it a distinct identity in a neighborhood full of anonymous chain hotels.
A 28-room boutique hotel in a restored 1920 Beaux-Arts building, one block from Times Square. The Irish hospitality angle is genuine — not a gimmick. Rooms are soundproofed, beds are Hypnos cashmere, and the on-site Public House serves real Irish-American food to both guests and walk-ins. It's small, warm, and the staff is consistently praised by name in reviews.
Where You'll Stay

Deluxe Queen Room
The entry-level room. 190 sq ft with one queen bed — compact by any measure, but thoughtfully laid out. Soundproof windows keep Times Square outside where it belongs.
Queen
