We’ll be taking our annual trip to NYC checking in December 29th and out January 3rd and this will be our first new years in NYC. We’ve previously stayed at Renaissance Midtown, JW Marriott Central Park and Sheraton Times Square (also the Novotel at Times Square). They all had their pros and cons but wouldn’t want to go out of my way to stay at any of them again (except for maybe the Novotel but my Bonvoy points would be useless there).

This time I am deciding between the two Edition hotels. We will have our 7 month old with us this time around so just need to take that into account when making our decision. Times Square Edition looks appealing but not sure how practical the location is with our baby and the rooms look quite small also. Although NYE would be a one of a kind experience but again with the baby it might just not be a smart choice. New York Edition rooms seem larger and it seems quite convenient in terms of location. I have gold status but not sure what benefits I would receive at either property.

Another thought was to splurge for the St Regis but I already feel that I’m splurging for the Edition’s so not sure if I’ll go down that path.
