517-foot, 42-story modernist hotel completed in 2017 for Marriott International/Ian Schrager Company. Designed by Platt Byard Dovell White Architects with interiors by Yabu Pushelberg, it is also known as 20 Times Square. Above the glass storefronts on the ground floor, the 6-story base is wrapped in a 2-sided, uninterrupted LED video board facing east and south, with a rounded corner - the largest in Times Square - totaling 18,000 square feet. Retail and commercial space is located in the base, with actual hotel rooms on the 14th through 40th floors.

The main tower is set back above the base, clad mostly in a silver-blue glass curtain wall. At the southwest corner the three floors directly above the base have cutaway areas with recessed terraces; the rest of the floors above have recessed balconies at the corner.

The ground floor is occupied by Hershey's Chocolate World. The hotel contains 452 guest rooms.
