The Bar/Lounge at The New York EDITION

"The 273 guest accommodations feature stunning views of the city and all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a luxury hotel of this magnitude, including free Wi-Fi, curated mini-bars and signature bath products"

"The Clocktower Restaurant, a 24-karat gold-leaf bar, and the purple-accented Billiards Room coax guests from their elegant rooms and suites, which are decked out with contemporary furnishings in calming chocolate tones"

"Especially if you start your evening at the “gold bar” (so called because it’s coated in 24-karat gold leaf), followed by dinner in the landmarked, mahogany-walled dining hall, once the boardroom for the Metropolitan Life Insurance"

"Inside the opulent restaurant, restored wood paneling, Venetian plaster, and photos from Schrager’s Studio 54 days serve as a backdrop for the city’s glamour set, who come for the gold-leaf-lined bar and billiards table"

"The spacious lobby lounge features a fireplace, comfy couches and a full bar with an impressive craft cocktail list"
