At Times Square EDITION · 9F
The Terrace & Outdoor Gardens
Over a thousand plants suspended above Times Square, functioning as both garden and acoustic technology. The vegetation absorbs enough sound that you can actually hear a conversation without raising your voice.

Atmosphere
A greenhouse floating eleven floors above the traffic, fragrant and deliberately quiet. The thousand-plus plants absorb sound in a way that turns conversation back into something easy. The logic is horticultural, but the effect feels almost medicinal.
The Hidden Side
The plants aren't decoration. They were selected and arranged to function as acoustic absorption, which means the silence you experience is engineered, not incidental. Most guests notice the beauty without understanding why it works. The ones who do come back to this terrace every time they're in the city.

About the hotel
Ian Schrager's editorial eye goes to work on Times Square's most overstimulating corner, designing a hotel that feels genuinely detached from the noise outside. The interiors lean European in sensibility without pretending to be somewhere else. You stay here because you want Times Square on your terms, not on its.

Lobby Bar
Bar
A dark, burnished room at the center of the hotel where evenings start for guests who've figured out that the EDITION's ground floor is better than most of Midtown's independent bars.

Paradise Club
Bar · NightClub
Dinner theater in the basement where the boundary between performer and audience doesn't exist as a concept. Each night runs differently, which means the same show twice isn't actually the same show.
