Sitting in the heart of the Theater District in New York City, The Muse, a favorite of performers and theater lovers, is the perfect location to enjoy all of the Manhattan's cultural attractions. Named after the nine muses, The Muse is only a half-block from Broadway theaters and close to Restaurant Row, Times Square, Rockefeller Center and the swank, high-end shopping on Fifth Avenue. Two blocks west of the hotel, Restaurant Row serves as the location of many popular theater district restaurants, such as Becco, Barbetta, Joe Allen, B. Smith, Fire Bird, Kyma, Le Beaujolais, Lattanzi, Le Marais and Orso.

With its arched, limestone-and-brick façade, this Manhattan hotel features a mahogany-lined lobby with whimsical décor and a 15-foot vaulted ceiling featuring a commissioned Matisse-inspired mural of the nine muses. The theater motif spills over into the hotel's restaurant, District, which tempts tastebuds with innovative American cuisine, such as Crackling Cod and Salt-Rubbed Sirloin. Other guest perks at the Theater District hotel include business services, cell-phone rentals, twice daily housekeeping, limos and Town Cars, and room service. Staff members will even deliver exercise equipment to guestrooms or patrons can visit the hotel's 24-hour fitness center.

At this New York City hotel, guestrooms are more spacious than the New York norm and feature jewel-toned accents that complement simple wood furnishings and contemporary lighting. The rooms also feature premium bedding, abstract-print spreads, down comforters, CD players, high-speed Internet access, minibars, bathrobes and safes.

For families, romantic couples and other leisure travelers wanting to feel the pulse of Times Square, mix with the stars and scions of fashion, music and entertainment, and stay close to everything synonymous with the Big Apple, then the Muse is perfect for Manhattan getaways.
