American Express Corporate Rate at Hyatt Place New York City / Times Square (3.1 mi)

Hyatt Place New York City Times Square, located at 350 W 39th St, sits 3.1 miles from the American Express office at 200 Vesey St, making it a solid midtown anchor for your downtown commute. The hotel carries a 3.8 out of 5 rating, which is respectable for a Times Square-adjacent property where location is doing most of the heavy lifting. Getting to the office takes roughly 15 minutes via the A, C, or E train from 42nd Street Port Authority, putting you at Fulton Street just a few blocks from your desk. A morning Uber or Lyft from 350 W 39th St to 200 Vesey St typically runs between $18 and $28 depending on surge pricing, which is competitive for a 3.1-mile Manhattan ride. American Express does not maintain a dedicated negotiated rate at this Hyatt property, so book using the Siemens corporate code SIE, a universal fallback that rarely requires ID verification and consistently delivers a 10 to 22 percent discount off the best available rate. Every night you spend at Hyatt Place Times Square counts toward World of Hyatt elite status, so even a two-night trip moves the needle on Discoverist or Explorist qualification. The 3.8-star rating reflects clean, functional rooms rather than luxury, but for a business stay focused on proximity to transit and a 10 to 22 percent savings, the value proposition is hard to argue with. Pro tip: grab your morning coffee at Joe Coffee on Fulton Street, two blocks from 200 Vesey St, and skip the Times Square tourist tax entirely.
