Why go
The Times Square EDITION is worth booking when the address saves real time: Broadway plans, Midtown meetings, or a short stay where transit convenience matters. It carries stronger luxury credibility than many Times Square options, but the neighborhood is the tradeoff. If calm surroundings matter more than 7th Avenue access, compare Central Park, downtown, or Seaport hotels before committing.
About The Times Square EDITION
Choose The Times Square EDITION in New York City if the venue itself fits your plans and you want a hotel with confirmed recognition rather than an unverified set of extras. The verified details are concise: the dress code is smart casual, the property is recognized as Forbes Recommended, a Virtuoso Luxury Hotel Partner, MICHELIN Guide, Hotels Selected.
The strongest case for The Times Square EDITION is its confirmed positioning as a New York City hotel with established recognition. Travelers comparing broader New York City options should also scan Our full New York City hotels guide, especially if they want to weigh it against other stays before booking.
Pay for the hotel if its New York City setting fits your trip
For someone considering The Times Square EDITION, the decision should come down to whether this specific New York City hotel is the right base. The available verified information does not establish room categories, pricing, amenities, service format, or a particular guest profile, so those details should be confirmed directly before booking.
The verified dress code is smart casual. Beyond that, avoid assuming specific features that are not confirmed here, such as particular dining concepts, wellness facilities, room layouts, or family-oriented services. If those details matter, compare the hotel directly with other options such as Hard Rock Hotel New York, Merrion Row Hotel and Public House, The Chatwal - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, The Gallivant Times Square, or W New York - Times Square.
Recognition helps, but confirmed details should drive the decision
The hotel has credible signals, including Forbes Recommended recognition, Virtuoso Luxury Hotel Partner status, MICHELIN Guide hotel selection. Those distinctions help frame it as a recognized New York City choice, but they should not be used as a substitute for checking the exact room, rate, inclusions for your dates.
Booking decisions should be based on the confirmed facts and whatever current terms the hotel provides at the time of reservation. If The Times Square EDITION is not an exact fit, compare other New York City hotels side by side, then plan dining through Our full New York City restaurants guide or drinks through Our full New York City bars guide.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Times Square EDITION quietly upends Midtown spectacle by foregrounding restraint and design. Instead of an ostentatious atrium, the lobby acts as a decompression chamber anchored by an artful glowing orb and soft piano lines that buffer street noise. That calibrated minimalism carries through the 42-story property: it leans into the contrast of being planted at the city’s loudest intersection while delivering calm, considered spaces inside. The overall effect is serene and intimate rather than flashy—a luxury hotel that signals confidence through subtle details and tonal control rather than through theatrical gestures.
Best For
This property is particularly suited to travelers who want a polished Midtown base without the usual Midtown theatrics: business travelers seeking a quieter room, couples celebrating a special night, and visitors who prioritize design-forward hospitality. The hotel’s multiple dining programs and a Michelin-starred chef make it a draw for evening dining and special-occasion meals, while its location keeps you steps from Broadway and the city’s central energy. Guests looking for a refined, calm shelter in the heart of Times Square will find the EDITION’s balance of restraint and service appealing.
Stay Tips
Reservations are a sensible first step: the EDITION organizes six distinct dining experiences across the property under a Michelin-starred chef, so book ahead for evenings and weekends. Expect differentiated venues for different moods and group sizes—plan your booking to match whether you want a quieter table or a more social scene. If you prioritize a low-key experience, request seating that feels removed from the street; the hotel emphasizes tonal control and designed spaces, so staff can likely help place you in a calmer corner. Avoid assuming traditional hotel spectacle—this is restrained, intentional hospitality.

Hotel context
How it compares in Times Square and Midtown
Hard Rock Hotel New York is the better fit if the trip wants a louder entertainment-hotel feel near the same Midtown orbit. The Times Square EDITION is the more polished choice for guests who want the location without leaning fully into theme-hotel energy. For couples or business travelers, that restraint is the reason to pay the premium.
W New York - Times Square competes most directly on address and nightlife-adjacent mood. Choose the W if the rate is meaningfully lower and the priority is being in the center of the action. Choose The Times Square EDITION if the hotel itself needs to feel more composed after a crowded day outside.
Merrion Row Hotel and Public House and The Gallivant Times Square are stronger value checks when room cost matters more than luxury signaling. The Chatwal - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt is the cross-shop for a more classic luxury feel near the theater district; compare it first if service style and a less contemporary atmosphere matter more than design polish.
