stay in the historic hotel edison
an Art Deco hotel in the heart of Times Square. It opened in 1931, with Thomas Edison himself turning on the lights at its grand opening. Today, it remains one of the most recognizable hotels in the Theater District, blending vintage charm with modern amenities, and sits steps from Broadway theaters, the Times Square “bow‑tie,” and major Midtown attractions such as:
Rockefeller Center (about a 5‑block walk)
Radio City Music Hall
Bryant Park
The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum
Its central location makes it ideal for theater lovers, first‑time NYC visitors, and anyone wanting to stay in the middle of the action.
The hotel features three well‑known dining and bar options:
Bond 45 – Italian cuisine, seafood, and breakfast
Friedman’s – American comfort food with gluten‑free options
The Rum House – A famous jazz cocktail bar, often listed among NYC’s best hotel bars
These venues give the hotel a lively, New York‑centric dining scene.
Hotel Edison has appeared in several iconic films and TV shows, including:
The Godfather (hallway scene)
Bullets Over Broadway
Birdman
Seinfeld and Sex and the City
Its ballroom once served as a Broadway theater, adding to its deep ties with NYC’s entertainment history.
