When New York Marriott Marquis wins: Choose the Marriott Marquis if you want to be in the middle of the Theater District, need large meeting/ballroom capacity, value a 24/7 fitness center, or want the novelty of NYC’s only revolving restaurant with Times Square views.
When The Peninsula New York wins: Choose The Peninsula if you prefer a smaller, classic Fifth Avenue luxury hotel with a dedicated full-service spa, an indoor pool, personalized service, and proximity to MoMA and Rockefeller Center without Times Square crowds.
