Is the Hotel Edison not the quintessence of Old Times Square? Since 1931, the Edison has held court over its corner of Manhattan. Its 780 rooms represent a slice of Times Square before the area's Disneyesque revamp. The lobby is a fabulous, marbled tribute to yesteryear, and it buzzes with action during working hours.
We strongly suggest requesting one of the recently renovated rooms. These are done in gentle yellow, with gray wall-to-wall carpet and handsome dark furniture, with beautiful round mirrors over work desks. Older rooms are much less streamlined in look, with furniture in lighter wood, some clashing carpets and drapes, and a mix-and-match color scheme.
There is an office center on the premises. Wi-Fi is available, though it is not free. There's also an infamous, not-to-be-missed diner on the ground floor, a dive of a place where the eats are cheap and the atmosphere is gloriously retro.
Many of the Edison's guests are international. We hope they can appreciate the nostalgic blast of a vanquished Times Square that the hotel provides.

About the Hotel Edison neighborhood
Midtown West is chockablock with tourists sights, so it comes as no surprise that it's also chockablock with tourist-class hotels. Working west from Fifth Avenue to Hell's Kitchen and stretching north from 37th Street up to Central Park, Midtown West is home to the Theater District, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall, and the Museum of Modern Art. Whew! And then there's Times Square—an entity within itself. Though most New Yorkers steer clear of this congested area, the neon lights, larger-than-life billboards, and wise-talking street vendors keep the visitors coming. And coming. And coming.
Though not the most picturesque portion of the city—tall, uninspired office buildings form the bulk of the architecture—Midtown West does have its pleasant parts. The awe-inspiring New York Public Library and adjacent Bryant Park are two excellent places to find some respite. Plus, Midtown West certainly offers visitors convenience. Just about every train line is in walking distance, should you ever decide to venture beyond its borders, and the Port Authority Bus Terminal can get you to and from all the major airports, as well as other parts of the region.
