History
The New York EDITION opened in May 2015 inside the former Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, converting the tower portion of the landmark into a luxury hotel. The building was originally designed by Napoleon LeBrun & Sons and erected between 1905 and 1909, giving the hotel one of New York’s most recognizable historic addresses. The property is part of Ian Schrager’s EDITION brand and sits at 5 Madison Avenue on the block bounded by Madison Avenue, Park Avenue South, 23rd Street, and 24th Street. Its appeal comes from the blend of landmark architecture, contemporary hospitality, and a prime Flatiron location close to Madison Square Park.
The setting
The hotel occupies the tower section of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, a major early-20th-century office landmark in the Flatiron District. That corner of Madison Avenue and 24th Street is one of Manhattan’s most recognizable historic intersections, with the hotel now reusing a former corporate headquarters in a dense commercial and residential neighborhood. 11-minute walk to Empire State Building.
