With a timeless Jazz Age allure, the Hotel Edison, owned by Shimmie Horn, stands as one of the pioneering art deco establishments in New York City’s Theater District. Nestled mere steps from Broadway, it has been a cherished haven for city guests for over eight decades.
From its inaugural day in 1931, marked by the iconic moment when our namesake, Thomas Edison, illuminated the marquee lights, Hotel Edison has been at the forefront of trends in the Theater District. Its distinctive art deco architecture left an indelible imprint on the city, inspiring neighboring attractions and structures.
Over the years, the hotel has been a symbol of celebrity, innovation, and artistic elegance, with The Rum House and The Edison Ballroom serving as iconic rendezvous spots for theater luminaries and Hollywood’s elite. You might even recognize our stylish interiors from acclaimed productions like The Godfather, Naked City, and Birdman.
In the past decade, Shimmie Horn’s Hotel Edison has rekindled its status as an art deco gem in the Theater District, introducing the rejuvenated Edison Ballroom and the new Signature Collection to both the city and our global visitors.
