Best for Broadway/theater access, large meetings and families who want to be steps from Times Square.

Best for Central Park views, a quieter Columbus Circle location and dining at Jean-Georges.
When InterContinental New York Times Square wins: Choose InterContinental for proximity to Broadway and Times Square, stronger meeting and event capacity (Gotham Ballroom and ~10,000 sq ft of event space), and a larger inventory of rooms—useful for groups or families.
When Trump International Hotel & Tower New York wins: Pick Trump International for a Central Park–adjacent address, smaller, quieter hotel service, in-room comforts (refrigerators, larger suite options and park-view suites) and on-site spa, pool and Jean-Georges dining.
Bottom line: Both are 5-star Manhattan options but serve different priorities—Times Square energy and scale at the InterContinental vs. park-side calm, fewer rooms and full-service spa/dining at the Trump hotel.
