Best for travelers who want a quieter, nature-tinged Midtown base with immediate Central Park access and sustainable design.

Best for visitors who want to be in the heart of Times Square/Theater District with nightlife, bars, and a high-profile brand experience.
When 1 Hotel Central Park wins: choose 1 Hotel Central Park if you want quieter, green-focused design, immediate Central Park access, a single reliable on-site restaurant (Jams), and an emphasis on sustainability. It’s also the clearer pick if you prefer no on-site pool and no full-service spa to avoid expectations of those amenities.
When The Times Square EDITION wins: pick The Times Square EDITION if being steps from Times Square, Rockefeller Center and Broadway matters most, or if a nightlife-forward hotel with multiple bars and a nightclub fits your plans. The EDITION’s larger room count and lifestyle positioning suit travelers who want that downtown-theater-district energy.
Bottom line: both are five-star, design-conscious Midtown options. Pick 1 Hotel Central Park for calmer, park-proximate stays and an eco-luxury sensibility; pick The Times Square EDITION for maximum Theater District convenience and a nightlife-forward, branded luxury experience.
