Enjoy a warmer winter in Times Square at Renaissance New York

Renaissance New York Times Square is serving up over-the-top, Instagram-worthy hot chocolate in its R Lounge — with unparalleled Times Square views through floor-to-ceiling windows — as the ultimate winter warmer for locals and visitors looking to step out of the cold.

The hotel’s culinary team developed a special hot chocolate menu that features a one-of-a-kind, themed drink every month. This month, guests can toast the New Year with Nutella Hot Chocolate, and during the romantic month of February, “Cupid’s Choice” is a salted caramel hot chocolate — the perfect sweet and salty combination drizzled with chocolate shavings atop of fresh whipped cream.

For an additional cost, chocoholics can give it a kick with Bailey’s, Creme de Menthe, Kailua, Frangelico or Amaretto. Not only are the hot chocolates delicious, but they are also extremely photogenic!
