New
York is known for many things: great Broadway shows, fashion,
television industry, Wall Street, Little Italy, Chinatown and…expensive
hotels. Therein lies the challenge for both business and leisure
travelers.
Finding
something to do in New York is not a problem. Finding an affordable hotel is.
Unless of course you stay at a place in a neighborhood that is lit in red or requires
a black belt in karate just to make it to your room. Neither sounds appealing,
so the hunt goes on for a hotel that is cost effective, in a great location, and
has the amenities that keeps travelers happy…all in the heart of Manhattan.
No such place, right? Wrong. Not only have we discovered a hotel that offers all
of the above we've discovered one that has history, charm and character…called
Hotel Edison. Driving
by, even walking by, you may not notice it. Although it's smack dab in the middle
of Times Square, it's tucked away on a side street -- 228 West 47th Street to
be exact -- just off Broadway. And even though it houses more than 800 rooms,
its façade is amazingly deceptive. Sandwiched between an expensive W Hotel
and a clothing store, it's barely noticeable unless you're looking for it. The
depth of deception is dizzying. The monstrous building is nearly a city block
in diameter but because of the way it was built in 1929, it snakes its way backwards
and upwards hiding its bulk between neighboring buildings. As a result, rooms
offer more peace and quiet than one might expect from the traditionally noisy
24-hour New York chaos, especially in the heart of Times Square.  Twenty-something
stories tall, an entire floor has been remodeled every year since the late '80s.
The cool thing about this annual construction is that each floor is designed a
little differently so one stay could be in a room of modern motif while the next
is surrounded by an original '20s flare, leaving you feeling as if you've traveled
back in time.
