An exploration of how three recently revamped and ground up Times Square hotels are employing high-end art and innovative design to heighten guest experience through a guided tour. We take you into guest rooms, rooftop bars and sumptuous public rooms. Starting at citizenM New York, hotel partner Noreen Chadha lead participants through this modern European boutique hotel’s approach to integrating design and art into every aspect of the hotel.
At Paramount Hotel, Meyer Davis Studio shared the historic hotel’s renovation history from Philippe Starck’s redesign to the imagination of the entire hotel from the guest rooms to the lobby to the event space. The tour ended at Hyatt Times Square with architect Peter Pelsinski of SPAN Architecture, discussing how the firm mined New York both thematically and literally for local designers, fabricators and materials for this international hotel chain to create a distinctive NYC space.

MTV started shilling to the tweenaged masses, they moved into their 1515 Broadway studios in Times Square. The year was 1997, the Real World cast was in Boston, and the network was only just starting to be criticized for their lack of, you know, music videos.
The store is 1,624-square-foot.
Now The NY Post is reported (Aug 09)that, following the end of TRL last year, the studios that overlooked the Crossroads of the World may be changing hands by next year.
Landlord SL Green has put the space on the market, saying it could go retail or to another broadcast, but Viacom didn't renew the studio's lease. He told the paper, "We're taking it back from MTV at end of year. We're actively marketing it, and we think it will be the crowning touch of the retail development we've done since we bought the building." They note that the space lists "at $450 a square foot for the studio, and a whopping $1,000 a square foot for the 1,624-square-foot MTV store at street level, which must be taken with the studio space, for a total rent of $11.6 million a year."

Retailer-to-the-tweens Aeropostale is taking an adult-size bite out of Times Square.
The retailer has nearly completed a lease for one of the neighborhood's most prominent locations: the about 17,000-square-foot storefront at 1515 Broadway, according to sources close to the negotiations. Real estate database CoStar indicates this includes some of the same space formerly occupied by the MTV Studio. The storefront sits at the bottom of the 54-story cloudbuster between 44th and 45th streets, smack-dab in the middle of Times Square.
When fully completed -- it's said to be just millimeters away from done -- this lease will be just the latest coup for landlord SL Green, which earlier this month announced the successful $475 million refinancing of the scraper. That came just over a year after SL Green convinced anchor tenant Viacom to keep its global headquarters in the building.
Aeropostale couldn’t be reached for comment. But the store, which saw robust sales over the holiday season and recently increased its earnings estimate, is taking a big bet on the Times Square market. Gossip on the retail street puts the annual rent at around $10 million. That number couldn’t be confirmed. But it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility given Times Square's tremendous foot traffic and tourist allure. Other retailers have also been jumping into the Times Square mix, including Disney, which recently signed a 25,000-square-foot-lease at 1540 Broadway.
