What to pack for a stay at Hyatt Regency Times Square

Essentials to bring
Carry photo ID and the credit card used to guarantee your reservation — Hyatt Regency Times Square requires the primary guest checking in to be at least 21 and asks for matching ID and card at the 24-hour front desk.
Print or download your reservation confirmation and any event or theatre tickets. The hotel provides free Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas, but you’ll still want workable copies of key confirmations.
- Valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport)
- Credit card used at booking
- Reservation confirmation (digital or paper)
- Any event/Broadway tickets or confirmations
What to wear
Pack layers. New York weather varies by season — spring and fall are mild, summer can be humid and hot, and winter is cold. Check local forecasts just before travel and plan outfits around layering.
Bring one or two smarter outfits for theatre, dinners at CUE 48, or meetings. The hotel caters to business and leisure guests, so business-casual or smart-casual looks are appropriate.
- Light jacket or coat (season dependent)
- One dressier outfit (dress, sport coat, or equivalent)
- Comfortable walking shoes plus one dress shoe option
- Socks and underlayers for winter visits
Electronics, work and entertainment
Bring chargers, power bank, and adapters for your devices; the hotel provides free in-room and public Wi‑Fi for streaming and work. If you plan to use the fitness center, include workout headphones and any fitness apps/accessories you prefer.
If you need to work, bring any materials for meetings and check with the hotel about meeting rooms or the lobby boardroom if you need dedicated space — the property lists many meeting venues.
- Phone and charger, portable battery
- Laptop/tablet and charging cables
- Noise-canceling headphones for subway noise or shared spaces
- Portable plug strip or multi-outlet adapter (hotel outlets vary)
| Item | Why |
|---|---|
| Portable battery | Keep your phone charged while you explore Times Square |
| Laptop and charger | Free Wi‑Fi supports remote work |
| Headphones | Useful on noisy Midtown streets and subway trips |
Toiletries and in-room comforts
The hotel provides standard bathroom amenities, but bring any specialty toiletries, medications, or preferred skin care products you need. Housekeeping is available on request.
If you have specific bedding needs or want extra pillows/blankets, note that housekeeping and extra linens are available by request through the 24-hour front desk or guest services.
- Prescription medications (in original containers)
- Daily toiletries you prefer (toothbrush, razor, skincare)
- Small first-aid kit or pain reliever
- Sleep aids (eye mask, earplugs) if you're sensitive to light/sound
Packing for families and pets
Children of all ages may stay at Hyatt Regency Times Square when accompanied by a parent or guardian age 21 or older; the hotel is family-friendly but is not a dedicated family resort. Bring necessary child items (stroller, car seat if needed for offsite transport, snacks).
The property accepts one dog per room up to 45 pounds with a nonrefundable pet fee and waiver required at check-in. Pets must be leashed outside the guest room and cannot be left unattended — housekeeping will be skipped if a pet is left alone.
- Child supplies: stroller, portable snacks, entertainment for theatre waits
- Pet supplies (if bringing a dog): leash, bed/blanket, food bowls, vaccination records if desired
- Expect to sign a pet waiver and pay the nonrefundable pet fee at arrival
| Policy | Note |
|---|---|
| Pet allowance | One dog up to 45 lb per room; nonrefundable fee applies |
| Children | All ages welcome when an adult 21+ checks in |
Things to leave at home and extra fees to plan for
