The New York EDITION

The New York EDITION is a luxury hotel inside the landmark Metropolitan Life clocktower beside Madison Square Park. Ian Schrager’s restrained interiors give the historic building a quieter residential feel, with the Flatiron district’s restaurants and shops immediately outside.

Rooms use pale fabrics, dark wood, and large windows; lofts and specialty suites add more generous living areas. Views vary with the room and floor, so reserve the category that names the outlook you want. The photographed dining rooms and expansive suite lounges belong to particular accommodations rather than every bedroom.

The Clocktower offers contemporary British dining in richly decorated rooms, while the Lobby Bar provides a more casual place for cocktails and lighter meals. A gym and bookable spa treatments make the hotel useful for an unhurried afternoon as well as a city base. Reserve dining and treatments separately, and compare the full room total including mandatory charges. The hotel entrance is on East 24th Street between Madison and Park Avenues.
