Planning a rooftop proposal or reception (Bar 54)
Bar 54 on the 54th floor offers skyline views and both indoor and outdoor terrace seating. The venue can be reserved for private events, but it is also a public rooftop lounge and may be closed for private functions on some dates.
Because Bar 54 enforces a 21+ age policy and a dress code, it works best for adult-only receptions or cocktail-style celebrations. Confirm availability and any age restrictions or dress-code requirements with the hotel events team when you book.
- Hours: Sun–Thu 4:00 PM–12:00 AM; Fri–Sat 4:00 PM–1:00 AM (kitchen closes nightly earlier).
- Bar 54 VIP Area is available for smaller private gatherings.
- Outdoor terrace seating can be first-come, first-served when the lounge is open to the public; private reservations give you more control over guest access.

Working with the hotel's events team and vendors
Hyatt Centric Times Square offers on-site wedding services and event planning support; the events team can confirm room layouts, audiovisual needs, catering options and whether Bar 54 or other spaces are available on your date.
Because rooftop and terrace spaces are subject to weather and public access policies, get event confirmations in writing and ask about contingency plans (indoor backup space, guest capacity limits and timing for load-in/out).
- Ask the hotel about preferred vendor lists, load-in windows and elevator access for decor and floral deliveries.
- Confirm A/V capabilities in Salon 1 & 2 & 3 and the Salon Boardroom if you need microphones, screens or streaming options.
- If you plan a multi-room event (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception), confirm timing between spaces to prevent elevator bottlenecks during peak theater hours.
| Common vendor topic | Questions to ask |
|---|---|
| Florist/Caterer load-in | When can vendors access event spaces and which service elevators to use? |
| Audio / visual | What is built-in and what needs external rental? |
| Guest room block | How many rooms are needed for a block and what rates apply? |
