New York City EDITION [Master Thread]
Scheduled to open in May according to press release today. Marriott has sold it but will retain long-term management (seems to be doing that w/ the Editions; all of them combined have sold for $816 million).

Manhattan’s first EDITION in landmark Clock Tower Building Scheduled to Open in May
The New York EDITION sits directly across from Madison Square Park, centrally located on 24th Street and Madison Avenue. Originally built in 1909 as the headquarters for The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, the historic 41-story clock tower is a New York landmark. The hotel’s interior, designed by world-renowned architect David Rockwell, will evoke the intimacy of a private home. The New York EDITION will feature 273 guest rooms and suites with spectacular views of the city as well as a restaurant, versatile meeting and event space, an intimate lobby bar; and a state-of-the-art fitness center and spa.
Cheers.
