What it is

A calming 452-room respite in the heart of the universe.

What it isn't

Light and airy in the common spaces. Yabu Pushelberg pushed the architectural envelope here; the result? A club kid cool vibe that’s pure New York.

What we think

New Yorkers would give up almost anything for what The Edition’s guest rooms have in spades: namely, floor-to-ceiling windows, stone-lined bathrooms with rainforest showers, Bluetooth speakers, and—yes—twice daily housekeeping service (not to mention cloud-like down comforters to retreat to in your robe and slippers after a mini bar binge). And even if you never leave the grounds, you’ll feel the trip was worth it, thanks to the spate of urbanite-ready amenities, such as a 24-hour gym with an outdoor wellness deck, loaner iPads and laptops, and 24-hour room service.

You're here because

You have always had a particularly fierce loathing for Times Square, and Yabu Pushelberg made it a resurgent destination.

The Moment

Proof a restaurant is good: it has a heart-stopping cocktail menu. Proof a restaurant is great: it also has a cheese & calvados menu. And then the champagne arrives, and you decide to stay forever.
