It's not too late to book a room in New York for Super Bowl weekend. In fact, many hotels are still advertising availability, attempting to entice last-minute travelers with tailgate party packages and post-game "detox" deals.
The new 487-room Hyatt Times Square is continuing to promote its views of "Super Bowl Boulevard" in Midtown Manhattan, hoping to book a few more rooms (starting at $379 a night) before the game.
The Waldorf Astoria is also offering both rooms and suites, along with a chance to spot legendary players staying at the hotel for the weekend, the company said in a statement.
Pre-game paraphernalia is available at the hotel's N.F.L. pop-up store and a post-game hot towel massage treatment at the Guerlain Spa is "ideal for fans dealing with post-game loss," the release said.
The JW Marriott Essex House is still advertising its "Tailgate, Travel and Touchdown" package to those who already hold tickets to the game. Along with a two-night stay (starting at $659 a night), guests are treated to a pre-game tailgate party with open bar at the hotel's executive lounge, luxury bus service to and from New Jersey for the game — gift bags included — and complimentary breakfast.
For those on a budget, the Jane, a boutique hotel in the West Village, is still offering its small but upscale rooms (modeled after luxury train cabins) at $125 a night, with the hope that this weekend's promising forecast will attract last-minute bookings, Chris Rohr, the hotel's general manager, said in an email.
Many of the region's businesses had hoped to see a bump in revenue this weekend, with the Super Bowl drawing tourists to the city during what is typically an off-season. But just how much of a bump remains to be seen.
"Our team was hoping to fill rooms with fans of the participating teams," Scott Erlich, a managing partner of the Hotel Wolcott, an independent establishment in Midtown, said.
Although 80 percent full this weekend, up 30 percent from the same time last year, Mr. Erlich said he thought the hotel would be sold out given its reasonable rates ($250 a night) and proximity to the New Jersey PATH trains and buses.
"In general, I think the prediction of very cold weather scared off many fans," he said. "Now that the forecast is predicting 30- to 40-degree temperatures — instead of the previous past weeks' freezing weather — I think we will see a last-minute rush of travelers buying Super Bowl tickets and therefore booking hotel rooms."
But for larger establishments, like Marriott, availability doesn't necessarily mean tourists aren't coming. "It's about inventory and geography," Kathleen Duffy, a spokeswoman for Marriott in New York, said.
The Brooklyn Marriott, for instance, is almost at capacity this weekend thanks to its proximity to the "Taste of the N.F.L." event being held at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal on Saturday, she said, adding that New York's huge amount of accommodation options will always make it difficult to fill every room.
