Planet Hollywood’s cutting-edge technology allows the space to adapt seamlessly to a variety of events, from intimate dinners to large-scale celebrations. Whether you’re there for the star-studded atmosphere, interactive visuals, or a next-level dining experience, the newly reimagined Planet Hollywood New York is set to be a must-visit destination in Times Square.
“We’re relaunching Planet Hollywood in Times Square not just as a restaurant but as an all-encompassing sensory experience that magnificently combines innovative technology with the unique flair of Hollywood,” commented Robert Earl, Founder and CEO of Planet Hollywood and Earl Enterprises. “This venue is poised to deliver exceptional entertainment and dining in the spirit of New York’s celebrated theatrical grandeur.”
From the moment guests step inside, Planet Hollywood New York captivates with its blend of classic elegance and modern spectacle. A glowing staircase, inspired by the sophistication of the Art Deco era, serves as a striking welcome. As diners ascend to the second-floor dining room, they are enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury and wonder—a celestial canopy of glowing stars overhead and shimmering walls that pulse with life, marking a bold new chapter in the venue’s evolution.

Departing from traditional memorabilia displays, the restaurant offers a fully immersive audio-visual experience, where synchronized video projections, cinematic soundscapes, and interactive elements bring Hollywood to life in a dynamic, ever-changing showcase.

Every detail of the space has been meticulously designed to ensure that each visit feels fresh, engaging, and unlike anything else in the city.
By night, Planet Hollywood transforms into a vibrant hotspot. As dinner service winds down, the second and third floors evolve into a high-energy nightlife destination, complete with multiple bars, handcrafted cocktails, and two dynamic DJ booths. Whether you’re there for a one-of-a-kind dining experience or an electrifying night out.
