Amid gigantic, flashy billboards in the center of Times Square, The Times Square
EDITION hides in plain sight. The 42-story hotel — the brand’s second New York outpost
(the other
is at Madison Avenue and East 24th Street) — brings a needed dose of modern
luxury to the tourist-laden neighborhood. Where Times Square is bright, loud
and busy, this hotel is serene, with rooms done up entirely in white and two
terraces bursting with greenery.
The Times Square EDITION has 452 guest rooms and suites; restaurants
701West and The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens, from lauded NYC chef John Fraser; a
1,200-square-foot Lobby Bar; and a fitness center with a terrace. And, because
this is project from Ian Schrager, who was a nightlife impresario before moving
into hotels, there’s Paradise
Club, a dinner theater and nightclub partnering
with House of Yes, an avant-garde performance space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The result of all this is a downtown-cool hotel with an intimate vibe
smack-dab in buzzing Times Square.
