Coffee and Toilets on Floor 8

I’ve been to the Marriott Marquis in NYC more times than I can count, and if you’ve ever stepped inside, you’ve definitely looked up. If you haven’t, you’re missing out on elevators with views, surprisingly nice (and free) restrooms, and a brief escape from the chaos of Times Square.

What I love most is how the open‑air atrium helps you understand the building’s vastness. There aren’t many hotels with an interior like this. It’s easy to get lost in the scene — so much open space, yet all the inner workings are moving in harmony.
