The New York EDITION

Union Square, New York

Virgin rating

The hotel

A taste of elite New York living, the residential feel of The New York EDITION sets it apart from your average Manhattan hotel. Inside an historic clocktower, near the Flatiron building and Madison Square Park, its grand interiors are swathed in neutral, warm, ivory and oatmeal. The elegant guestrooms are just as decadent, featuring oversized windows, rain showers, complimentary WiFi, 48” HDTVs, and BEATS Bluetooth speakers. Its spa is reserved exclusively for hotel guests, but there’s no keeping New York’s gastro-aficionados from The Clocktower: with Michelin starred Jason Atherton at the helm, its classic-meets-contemporary British menu is served in three exquisite dining rooms (and the Lobby Bar). The centrepiece of the dining experience is the Gold Bar, with its gilt-framed photos, 3 foot globe chandelier, glistening cocktails, and 24k gold leaf bar ensuring it lives up to its name.

Thermostat is set on energy efficient at night. This is untenable during a NYC heatwave. I woke up 3x a night in a sweat with the temperature at 74 degrees and humid given the temperature outside. They did not tell you that the AC goes into energy saving mode when you sleep. You have to be “moving” for the AC to activate! The hotel should… Read more
Thermostat is set on energy efficient at night. This is untenable during a NYC heatwave. I woke up 3x a night in a sweat with the temperature at 74 degrees and humid given the temperature outside. They did not tell you that the AC goes into energy saving mode when you sleep. You have to be “moving” for the AC to activate! The hotel should make this clear before someone books in the summer and also at check in. They had to manually turn off the energy save mode on night 3 of my stay. Needless to say I only got 3 hours of sleep a night for for the 1st 2 days. Nothing can make up for this. I would not stay here again during the summer. Read less

This past year, I stayed at the Edition three times. For two of my visits, I stayed at least a week. While the laundry and cleaning staff have always been very friendly, the front desk has always been haughty and lukewarm.

This past year, I stayed at the Edition three times. For two of my visits, I stayed at least a week. While the laundry and cleaning staff have always been very friendly, the front desk has always been haughty and lukewarm. But because of the location (it is central to many subway lines), I decided to stay here several times. The very first time I stayed here (2019, I think), the rooms were well-maintained. Last year, I noticed that the rooms were showing their age. Yet I chose to ignore that and decided to still stay here three times this year. But this will be my last time here. Why? The air conditioning in my room was horrible! They sent the AC person to check my unit. All he did was change the direction of the vent and tell me that he was going to switch off the “Auto” mechanism in the thermostat. He also said that he was going to switch me to “VIP” mode. The AC did get slightly cooler but only intermittently. Worse, at night the room temperature was 74 F. Ideal room temperature for sleep is between 60-66 F!!! Why include a thermostat in the room when you can’t even control it? And “VIP” status only when one complains? During a heat wave? Horrible. Read less

This is a 4 star property charing 5 star prices. If you're temped to go for the Bonvoy reward amenities, don't bother. The location is convenient, but the rooms are small.

This is a 4 star property charing 5 star prices. If you're temped to go for the Bonvoy reward amenities, don't bother. The location is convenient, but the rooms are small. The bathroom is like a holiday inn. The room service is inedible. The service team is not trained. Here is the deal.. If you want five star, book the Ritz or Regent in Bonvoy. There the staff is trained in the ritz tradition of ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen. Here it is like McDonalds. If you want cheaper, book a noce $300-400 dollar room. The room was $600-$900. The problems.. smelly, no upgrade as promised, packages delivery (such as food, etc) is a hot mess. Everyone in NYC orders door dash. Your packages will disappear into "security", but there is no "security" and they will not notify you or the front desk that you have a package. 3 hours later, you're looking for your package. What package? I was told after 2 days to call the store and tell them the package was missing, because they wanted to blame the door dash delivery person, who has a GPS and timely receipt. As a Bonvoy elite, I'm told $40 per day at the spa, laundry, room service and mini bar each. I used $42 one day. Yep, I got a $2 overcharge, despite not using any credit the rest of the day. All of this would be fine at a medium priced Marriott. But, this hotel is trying to compete in the 5 star category and it is not there. Maybe if you're stay is free, it might be worth it It's middle eart. Read less

This hotel is in an amazing location. I was able to walk to a lot of my favorite restaurants. They gave me an upgrade to a suite with beautiful views and the staff were very friendly. Willie was very friendly and helpful during my check in and check out. I will definitely return when I’m in NYC again.

I’m giving them a five firstly I dealt with two of the front desk managers main contact was Justin he was amazing I found the service to be excellent other than I must say at the front desk at certain times of the day some of the front desk male staff actually looked like maybe they were filling in but the ones that were up to speed were excellent I found the room service was great. I actually really like the hotel being a Titanium Elite member. We did get an upgrade to a basic suite which was great the regular room were quite small, as we occupied three rooms, but it is New York but doable we ate at the restaurant for business dinner just found it very very old-fashioned Lighting extremely poor but the food was good. It was very good all in all I would highly recommend it. Read less
