Best for downtown culture, live jazz and small-venue nightlife in SoHo/Tribeca.

Best for being in the middle of Times Square and for large meetings or Broadway access.
When Roxy Hotel New York wins: pick the Roxy if you want a smaller, design-led hotel with on-site live music (The Django), an arthouse cinema, strong downtown character and pet-friendly policies.
When New York Marriott Marquis wins: pick the Marriott Marquis if you need large meeting or event space, want to be steps from Broadway and Times Square, or prefer a high-capacity, full-service city hotel with multiple restaurants and coffee shops.
Bottom line: both hotels put you in Manhattan action, but they serve different trips — Roxy for intimate downtown culture and nightlife; Marriott Marquis for central Times Square access and large-group or business needs.
