MIDTOWN FUNK

Centrally located on Madison Square Park in the Flatiron District, this landmark clock-tower building, constructed in 1909, was the world’s tallest building until 1913. Now a super sexy, 273-room hotel with just eight mahogany-panelled rooms on each floor, it feels like a modern, airy version of a 1930s members club. The black-andwhite photographs of celebrities through the ages that adorn the walls of Jason Atherton’s secondfloor restaurant, The Clocktower, add to the sense of living history. editionhotels.com
