Best Western President Hotel

The 16-story Best Western President Hotel at Times Square is located right in the heart of the Theater District. It has recently undergone a $15 million renovation, providing a makeover for all of its 334 guest rooms so that it now offers chic boutique-style amenities and service.

Every room features upgraded bedding and linens, a flat panel television, free Wi-Fi Internet access, and an iHome iPod docking station. The 46 Junior Suites, Deluxe Suites and Executive Suites have pull-out sleeper sofas, and the two Penthouse Suites offer exceptional city views as well as luxurious handmade furnishings, historic artifacts, and original artwork.

Two highly regarded Asian restaurants cater to guests' dining needs on the premises. Saigon 48 specializes in Vietnamese cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while Aoki is the choice for Japanese fare at lunch time or for evening meals. The hotel lobby also has the international-style Primary Bar & Lounge, offering breakfast daily and cocktails until late.

The Best Western President Hotel allows smoking in 72 of its rooms upon request. Pets, however, are not permitted. Children under the age of 17years may stay free with one paying adult if existing bedding is used. The address is 234 West 48th Street, New York, New York 10036-1424.
