PB hotel design editorial

Napoleon LeBrun's 1909 Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower — modeled closely on the campanile of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, its gilded crown still visible from much of lower Manhattan — was once the tallest building in the world. Ian Schrager brought the New York EDITION into its lower floors in 2015, commissioning his longtime collaborator John Pawson to translate the Beaux-Arts monument into a hotel of 273 rooms across 25 floors. Pawson's approach, as ever, strips sensation back to its essentials: the guest rooms are exercises in warm restraint, with pale oak floors, barrel-vaulted plaster ceilings that recall the building's classical origins, and oversized dark-stained paneled headboards set against walls in creamy off-white. Faux-fur throws and articulated brass reading lamps supply the only domestic texture in spaces that might otherwise approach the ascetic. The ground-floor restaurants tell a different story. The Clocktower preserves original dark-walnut paneling, ornate plasterwork cornices, and Beaux-Arts proportions intact, dressing them with green velvet barrel chairs and tufted banquettes and a gallery-dense hang of gold-framed black-and-white photography that gives the room the atmosphere of a well-aged Manhattan supper club. The bar, meanwhile, pulls in another direction entirely — slatted timber ceiling panels, tobacco-toned walls, and a backlit amber whisky wall create an enclosing, after-dark warmth that sits in deliberate contrast to the Pawson austerity one floor above.

"Stayed at the New York Edition last week and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The food, drinks, and service were all outstanding. We especially enjoyed spending time at both the second-floor bar and the lobby bar, which had a great atmosphere and excellent cocktails. Our room was clean, comfortable, and offered an amazing view of the Flatiron Building. A special thank you to Vasili, the manager, who truly made our stay memorable. He was an exceptional host. Friendly, attentive, and responsive. Every request we had was handled quickly and professionally, and he consistently made us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our stay. Highly recommend the New York Edition and look forward to returning in the future."

"Chintzy cheap Marriott furnishings, sad lobby, unhappy front desk staff, room service coffee that reeks of plastic, jack hammers and construction tape to greet you at the front door, $6k for a tiny suite 4 nights - that about sums it up"

"Location was good. But everything else is just okay. The washroom was dirty when I got there. I asked them to clean it again but there was another misunderstanding about that. They also gave my food delivery to someone else. They send me replacement cookies to make up for it but it wasn’t that good. They also gave me credit to use for their establishment. Nothing spectacular. You’d be surprised if coming from other Edition hotels especially in Asia."

"The hotel itself was lovely, clean, and inviting. There is a warmth to the space that makes you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The gentleman who checked me in was wonderful, and though I unfortunately didn't catch his name, I genuinely appreciated his warmth and attentiveness during what was a brief one-night stay. Room service was equally impressive — the woman who answered the phone was a delight, the food arrived quickly, and the overall experience was seamless. That same evening, a lovely member of the housekeeping team knocked to offer turndown service. I didn't need it, but she kindly left me a few extra bottles of water, which was a thoughtful touch I genuinely appreciated. The following morning, I visited the front desk to get change for a $20 bill. The male staff member handled it promptly, and I inadvertently left my room key behind. I walked only a short distance and spent roughly ten minutes standing at the bottom of the nearby staircase speaking with colleagues, well within eyesight of the desk. When I returned to retrieve the key, the same gentleman handed it back without a word. I'll be honest: that was a missed opportunity. A simple "Excuse me, you've left your key" would have gone a long way, and given how close I was, there was ample chance to do so. It's a small thing, but in a hotel of this caliber, those small gestures make a meaningful difference. Before checking out, I had breakfast at the Clocktower Restaurant and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere is dark and moody in the best possible way, and the photographs lining the walls feel like a genuine time capsule, a real character to the place that you don't find everywhere. The staff were fantastic throughout. Checkout was handled beautifully by a member of the front desk team, professional, warm, and efficient. She left a lasting and positive impression. Overall, this is a hotel with genuine character, excellent food, and staff who mostly deliver at the level you'd expect. A small lapse aside, I would return without hesitation."

"Wouldn't recommend staying here. 1. The cash rate is expensive, and even the points rate is quite high. 2. The location is just ok, you might as well stay closer to mid-town if you're a tourist, I happen to work close by so it was an easy walk 3. The doors of the rooms are thin, you might have a noisy neighbor like me and when they're screaming their heads off on a Friday night you can hear it in your room 4. Other rooms have radiators that make a big buzzing noise 5. There's no elite benefits for breakfast because of the bonvoy carveout they have here 6. There's a $40 destination fee, I think you're suppose to get some credits to go to their very loud bar downstairs, but then its very loud and not exactly somewhere you want to take a date on a quiet night out 7. Front desk service is weak, they couldn't change a room and wasn't all that apologetic about it 8. Other hotels are at this price range and better (e.g., the Ritz Carlton) this hotel is just trying to be something its not. Feels like 7 points is enough would stay away unless you have a very specific reason"
