The EDITION hotel – for the ultimate NYC experience
By Josh Lee
Classed as one of the best cities in the world to be LGBT, New York is on the top of everyone’s to-do list and the one-year-old New York EDITION is at the luxurious heart of it. Situated at the tip of Madison Square Park, the hotel’s oversized windows provide guests with a picture perfect image of the city’s luscious skyline that you can step right into. It is a unique addition to Marriott International hotels group thanks partly to its close proximity to the trademark Empire State Building, right on the road for every shopper’s heaven, and not shy of the electric night life.
The hotel building, originally built in 1909, is now a centrepiece to the city and a dream home for holiday goers never looking to be far from the best of the city. By day, Madison Avenue shopping is a point of pride for New York’s shopping scene, hosting Emporio Armani, Prada, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang and so much more. By night, NYC is a club-hub where the vibrant night includes a prominent LGBT partying culture.
Already attracting Hollywood’s A-list, the EDITION played host to Empire actor/singer and Attitude’s current cover star, Jussie Smollett, when he was in town for his exclusive shoot for the latest issue with Naomi Campbell.
Standing an impressive 41-storeys high, inside is a melting pot for sexy and sophisticated interiors featuring all shades of chocolate, low lighting and oak floors. There are 273 guest rooms, suites and penthouses that come with free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, mini bars and rainfall showers to fulfil all your needs and even the option to hire a butler.
It is also home to a gym that operates 24 hours a day and has a mix of weights and cardio equipment, offering the inviting option of a personal trainer. Alternatively, a spa exclusive to hotel guests offers massages and a menu of different treatments to help you unwind.
They also have rooms and spaces of all shapes and sizes to cater to private meetings and special events that can be booked online. The EDITION really is the last word in the ultimate Manhattan experience.
