Recent Edison Hotel Review: "The two of us walked up from the bus station and took in the sights along the way, marveling at the afternoon confusion and crowds of Times Square and found the Hotel Edison just a few steps from the center of entertainment. Flashing lights, huge lighted signs, cabs, buses, thousands of people looking up, pointing, hustle, bustle and just like a scene  from a movie- a total cacophony of urban life at the heart of the City that Never Sleeps. Entering the 47th Street lobby was a cool whisper of quiet and like stepping back 70 years with doormen, bell clerks, international clocks and attentive reception clerks. The marble floors and walls, the lamps, the murals...everything is just breathtaking exciting and the epitome of Art Deco. There are restaurants, bars and delis as well as concierge, travel coordinators and a small convenience store right in the hotel. Check-in was smooth and quick. We went upstairs and found a smallish room on the back side but clean and bright with two windows. Plenty of room for a couple- as long as you like each other! It was a quiet and restful during a whirlwind tour of Mid-town NYC. Subways stops, restaurants, delis, stores are close by and its walking distance to Central Park and world famous museums.' The hotel is literally dozens of steps from several theaters and a half block from the heart of Times Square, this is an wonderful place to stay to be super close to the action. Sights from movies and shows are all around, Radio City Music Halls, Rockefeller Center- everywhere you look it feels like you've been there on film. It should be noted that water straight from the bathroom faucet tastes as good as any I have ever tasted. The only complaints were not having a stopper for the bathtub and no ventilation fan in the bathroom. A coffee pot would have been nice. This stay was fairly expensive but wow!!...it made for a very memorable vacation. I recommend it highly."

Overview
Built in 1931, The Edison Hotel has long been a mainstay for theater lovers--in fact, the hotel's historic Edison Ballroom once housed its own Broadway theater. Situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan's Theatre District, the Edison puts you within a 5-minute walk of Times Square and renowned theaters like the Richard Rodgers, the Ambassador, and the Palace. (Be sure to visit the TKTS booth in Duffy Square, just steps from the hotel, for deals on same-day show tickets.)

A 10-minute walk takes you to Rockefeller Center, where you can take in panoramic city views from the Top of the Rock observation deck. Just beyond, the shopping mecca of Fifth Avenue is home to Saks, Tiffany & Co., Bergdorf Goodman, and the flagship Apple Store with its distinctive glass cube design.

When the sun starts to set, head back to the Edison, where murals of famous New York scenes greet you in the grand, Art Deco-style lobby. Stop for a pre-theater dinner at Sofia's (the restaurant made its big-screen debut in a scene from The Godfather)--or at Café Edison, a Manhattan institution where you may just spot your favorite Broadway star fueling up for the evening's performance. After the show, enjoy a nightcap at the Rum House--and if you're following the lead of The City That Never Sleeps, you can swing the night away to live big-band music in the Edison Ballroom.

When you're finally ready to wind down, relax in your Hotel Rooms with a pay movie, or log on with wireless Internet access, available throughout the hotel for a surcharge. In the morning, you can head to the hotel's fitness center for a workout--or straight to Café Edison for a plate of cheese blintzes.
