About this Location

Facility Overview

Located in the heart of Manhattan's iconic Theater District, the parking facility at 267 W 47th Street—historically known as Central Parking and now operated by SP+ as the Biltmore Garage—provides secure, covered valet parking directly adjacent to Broadway's most famous stages. Positioned on West 47th Street between Broadway/7th Avenue and 8th Avenue, this multi-level indoor parking garage offers a protected shelter from city weather conditions and 24/7 staff presence. Vehicles enter via a dedicated ground-level driveway staffed by professional attendants who handle vehicle staging and retrieval.

Regarding vehicle suitability, the facility maintains a maximum vertical clearance height of 8 feet 0 inches (96 inches). It comfortably accommodates standard coupes, sedans, crossovers, and mid-size SUVs. However, like many historic Midtown Manhattan structures with tight maneuvering decks, this garage strictly prohibits full-size pickup trucks, cargo vans, high-roof passenger vans, and extended full-size SUVs (such as the Chevrolet Suburban or Cadillac Escalade). An oversize vehicle surcharge typically applies for standard vehicles between 65 and 75 inches high and over 180 inches in length. Luxury and exotic sports cars are accepted subject to space availability and attendant discretion.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Few Manhattan garages match the premier theater-going convenience of 267 West 47th Street. Drivers park directly next to the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (formerly the historic Biltmore Theatre) and directly across from the Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Walk mere steps in any direction to reach renowned Broadway venues including the Richard Rodgers Theatre (home of Hamilton), the Gershwin Theatre (home of Wicked), the Longacre Theatre, the Brooks Atkinson / Lena Horne Theatre, and the Marquis Theatre.

Beyond Broadway performances, this garage is a 2-minute stroll (less than 500 feet) to the bright lights of Times Square and Father Duffy Square. World-class dining is just around the corner along historic Restaurant Row on West 46th Street, while Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Top of the Rock, and St. Patrick's Cathedral are all reachable within an easy 8- to 10-minute walk east. For corporate visitors, the location offers seamless foot access to major commercial towers along Sixth Avenue, Broadway, and Seventh Avenue.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

The facility is located on the north (right-hand) side of West 47th Street, which is a one-way westbound cross street running from east to west. Drivers approaching from the east side or uptown can easily turn onto 47th Street from 7th Avenue or Broadway, pulling directly into the garage apron just past the theater marquees. When exiting, vehicles merge onto West 47th Street towards 8th Avenue, offering prompt dispersal uptown or downtown via 8th or 9th Avenues. For regional driving, access to the West Side Highway (NY-9A) is straightforward via 47th or 50th Street, and the Lincoln Tunnel entrance lies just over a mile south via 9th and 10th Avenues.

Those meeting travel companions or combining car travel with public transit will find unmatched subway connectivity nearby. The 49th Street station (N, Q, R, W trains) is less than two blocks away at 7th Avenue, the 50th Street station (1 train) sits at Broadway, and the 50th Street station (C, E trains) is just around the corner on 8th Avenue. The major transit hub at Times Square–42nd Street and the Port Authority Bus Terminal are also within a brief 5- to 7-minute walk.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Because West 47th Street is located in one of Manhattan's busiest corridors, traffic often builds significantly between 6:30 PM and 8:00 PM on show nights (especially Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays). Plan to arrive at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to your performance curtain time to account for crosstown traffic and car check-in. It is strongly recommended to pre-book your space through a digital parking platform to guarantee entry during high-demand weekend evenings. Remember that this facility has a strict no re-entry policy—your reservation or ticket covers a single continuous parking session. Lastly, if your car is an oversize crossover or mid-size SUV, be prepared for standard New York City oversize fees assessed on-site if not prepaid in advance.
