It's New York's first Edition hotel there are outposts in London, Istanbul, and Miami, with plans for others in the years to come, including in Times Square. The hotel's website is now live, and the 273 rooms on offer range from $500 to $1,200 per night. MadSqPark news first reported the Monday, May 11 opening date for the New York Edition Hotel, one of Marriott's ritzier brands masterminded by hotelier Ian Schrager. The iconic, landmarked MetLife clocktower at the southeast corner of Madisn Square Park is about to be reborn as a high-end hotelas soon as next week. Someone scout that out and report back, please.Finally, it's almost here. Plus, there are apparently rooms on the 27th floor with secret doors that actually open up onto the mechanicals of the clock faces on each side of the building. (It's an interior landmark that was once home to MetLife executives' offices, so the molding and doorknobs and details are stellar.) Up in the rooms, much of the historic detail is absent, but subtle touches like the wooden headboards and the inclusion of original scalloped ceilings "wherever possible" help remind visitors of the clocktower's rich history. The vibe is classy, artsy, and comfortable, with an attractive lobby bar and lounge, and a fancy restaurant, The Clocktower, courtesy of top British chef Jason Atherton that graces the gorgeous second floor. The third Edition outpost, following ones in New York and Miami, it has 273 rooms and opening rates that start at $675/night. As of opening day on May 11, it's officially the New York Edition hotel.
After that, Marriott and hotelier Ian Schrager snatched it up and started converting the landmark into a boutique hotel. Sure, it was eclipsed by the Woolworth Building after that four-year stint, but MetLife called the glorious buildingmodeled after Venice's campanile in St. From 1909 to 1913, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower bordering Madison Square Park was the tallest building in the entire world.
