Where To Stay
M Social Times Square New York
Launched in Singapore in 2016, the M Social brand is exploring ways to grow in cities with strong character, capture diverse stories and build up a community that shares itself with authenticity, an open mind and giving heart. Organically, M Social New York is the third location for the brand after Singapore and Auckland.
At the very centre of NYC, the brand-new M Social Times Square New York hotel opened in the summer of 2021, marking the brand’s first outpost in the United States. The new lifestyle offering merges the sleepless energy of Times Square with contemporary design, vibrant art and cosy rooms, all that create an engaging retreat for guests to gather, work and discover all that New York has to offer from the very shiny heart of Manhattan.
