What to pack for a stay at Hyatt Centric Times Square
Pack light but smart for a Midtown stay: important items include ID and credit card for check-in, comfortable walking shoes for exploring Times Square and nearby attractions, and weather-appropriate layers for rooftop breezes. Bring chargers, a small umbrella, swimwear is unnecessary (there is no pool), and any prescription meds or travel-size toiletries you need.

Documents, money and check-in essentials
Bring a government-issued photo ID and the card you used to guarantee the reservation — the hotel may require a credit/debit card or cash deposit to cover incidental charges at check-in.
Standard check-in begins at 4:00 PM and continues until midnight; check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you need a late check-out or early check-in, contact the front desk in advance to request it.
- Government ID (driver’s license or passport)
- Credit/debit card used for booking and a backup card
- Printed or mobile copy of your reservation and any confirmation numbers
- Contact number for BookResorts agents if you need assistance: +1 (888) 605-1350
Clothing and shoes for Midtown and the rooftop
Plan outfits for walking and for evening dining or drinks; Midtown is casual to smart-casual most of the time, but Bar 54 enforces a dress code and entry is limited to guests 21 and older.
Bring a light jacket or wrap for rooftop visits — outdoor terraces at street level and Bar 54 (54th floor) can be breezy even on mild evenings.
- Comfortable walking shoes for sidewalks and theater evenings
- At least one dressier outfit for Bar 54 or a nicer dinner at T45 Kitchen + Bar
- Layering pieces (light jacket, sweater) for changing weather and rooftop breezes
- Compact umbrella for summer storms or wet days
What to pack for the room and work needs
Guest rooms include complimentary Wi‑Fi, so bring devices and chargers, plus any adaptors you need. If you need a quieter workspace, note the hotel offers several room types including suites with living areas.
Room names vary by configuration and view; if you need extra sleeping space or a sofa bed, request the Premier Suite, with Sofa bed when booking.
- Phone/tablet/laptop and charging cables
- Portable battery pack for long days exploring the city
- Noise-masking earbuds or a small white-noise app if you’re sensitive to city sounds
- Travel adapter (if arriving from overseas)

Toiletries, wellness items and medications
Hyatt Centric Times Square New York does not have an on-site spa; bring any specialty toiletries or treatments you prefer. The hotel provides standard bathroom amenities but specific products vary by room.
Pack any prescription medications in their original containers, plus a small first-aid kit and motion-sickness or allergy meds as needed for sightseeing and long subway rides.
- Prescriptions and a copy of prescriptions if possible
- Basic first-aid items (bandages, pain reliever, stomach-soothing meds)
- Toothbrush, toothpaste, and preferred skincare items
- Small toiletries kit for carry-on travel
Dining, snacks and rooftop planning
On-site dining includes T45 Kitchen + Bar (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and the lobby grab-and-go T45 Market; neither is included in room rates. The hotel charges a mandatory daily destination fee that provides certain perks — check the hotel for current details.
Bar 54 is the rooftop cocktail bar and lounge on the 54th floor; it serves craft cocktails and small plates but enforces a 21+ age policy and a dress code. Bar hours are generally late afternoon to midnight (later on weekends).
- Bring a credit card for dining charges and room-service orders
- If you plan to visit Bar 54, bring valid ID proving you are 21+
- Pack a small reusable water bottle for long walking days (tap water is drinkable in NYC)
