Hotel Edison

What Hotel Edison does

Hotel Edison is a historic 1931 Art Deco hotel operating 1,000 guest rooms and suites at 228 W 47th Street in the heart of New York City's Times Square and Theater District. The property is privately held under the Triumph Hotels Collection, a multi-property NYC hospitality group that also includes The Frederick, The Evelyn, The Iroquois, Hotel Belleclaire, and Washington Jefferson. Its customer base is diversified across leisure theater-goers, families, business and event travelers near the Javits Center, and time-bound demand catalysts such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Physical scale, prime location, and a 90+ year brand are the foundation of the asset.

The product surface extends well beyond rooms. Three on-site food and beverage venues (Friedman's American comfort food, Bond 45 Italian restaurant since 2005, The Rum House jazz cocktail bar) provide in-house dining and a pre/post-theater experience. Over 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space — including the restored historic Edison Ballroom, the expanded Edison Ballroom South, an all-season Edison Rooftop with retractable roof, and the Broadway Meeting Room — support group, wedding, and corporate event business. The technology stack is standard hospitality infrastructure: a SynXis-powered online booking engine on the official website, Google Analytics, CartStack revenue-recovery remarketing, and Benchmark Email for newsletter marketing, with social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and TripAdvisor.

The business model is a multi-stream full-service hotel: room bookings (transient, group, and family configurations including Signature Family Rooms and a Presidential Two Bedroom Suite), F&B across the three venues and in-room dining, meeting and event rental with catering and AV, and ancillary services such as valet parking ($75/24h standard, $85 oversized), refrigerator rental ($30), rollaway beds ($30/night), tiered package handling ($8–$30), and a $40/night facility fee bundling breakfast, Wi-Fi, fitness, and walking tours. Distribution is hybrid — direct via website with a Best Rate Guarantee, phone reservations, and the Triumph Exclusives membership, alongside OTA partnerships. The Go-to-Market emphasis is on direct booking to capture margin otherwise lost to OTAs, supported by earned media (Time Out NY, Scary Mommy, TripAdvisor) and event-driven demand (e.g., the $175-per-person FIFA World Cup 2026 watch parties).
