Taking up residence in a historic clock tower (once the tallest building in the city), The New York EDITION is the epitome of understated elegance.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Madison Square Park sits directly outside, placing Flatiron architecture and NoMad dining within steps of the front door.
The rooms
Muted neutral interiors feature solid oak floors, original scalloped ceilings, custom dark walnut headboards, and oversized windows framing Manhattan.
The spa and gym
Two 39th-floor treatment suites offer oxygen therapy and massage, beside a gym looking out over the skyline.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
The Clocktower
Three mahogany-paneled dining rooms lined with vintage photography serve contemporary British tavern dishes from chef Jason Atherton.
Understated, elegant, and reminiscent of a private club, the Edition New York isn't really a hipster hangout, nor is it an opulent, tricked-out palace.
Lobby Bar
Facing Madison Square Park, this ground-floor lounge pours seasonal craft cocktails beneath soaring ceilings.
At the table
Upstairs, the gold-leaf bar serves drinks next to an adjoining games room with a purple-felt billiard table.
How it began
Completed in 1909 as the Metropolitan Life headquarters, this 700-foot clocktower reigned as the world's tallest skyscraper for four years.
“Its transformation from iconic structure to five-star hotel has brought with it only more reasons to visit, including, first and foremost, the on-site spa—a 39th-floor escape…”
