The Edition Hotels in New York by Marriott(1)
I spent three nights in New York in early October, staying at two Edition hotels by Marriott in Manhattan. Both are in Midtown, so here's a quick review. I had planned to use my 85K-point Marriott voucher for another night at the St. Regis New York. πΈπ But in just one year, Marriott points have significantly devalued. It now costs over 110,000 points per night, or more than $1,600 if you pay cash. It's simply out of reach. So, I had to settle for the Edition series. The New York Edition is on 23rd Street, which is a bit far from the Metropolitan Museum of Art on 82nd Street. It's not very convenient. πΈπ The price is over $1,100 per night. This 85K-point Marriott voucher saved me quite a bit of π°. There's also a nearly $50 destination fee per night. If you don't use it on the day of check-in, it's forfeited and can't be applied to breakfast the next day. πΈπYou can use it at the bar or for in-room dining, but you have to do so before 11 p.m. I only found out about this after having dinner outside and returning to the hotel. I should have eaten at the hotel. #NewYork π
