人們的品味隨著時(shí)代而改變，奢華和潮流的定義也在不斷更迭。對(duì)于大部分酒店來(lái)說(shuō)，他們似乎更愿意用傳統(tǒng)的設(shè)計(jì)裝飾來(lái)詮釋對(duì)于奢華的定義，即為越傳統(tǒng)，越奢華。而酒店大亨伊恩·施拉格（Ian Schrager）對(duì)此卻不敢茍同，他認(rèn)為這種看似“安全”的設(shè)計(jì)理念本身就是對(duì)設(shè)計(jì)的不尊重。為此，繼2007年邁阿密海灘EDITION酒店開業(yè)之后，伊恩·施拉格再次攜手萬(wàn)豪，共同打造紐約EDITION酒店，這家于今年5月在麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)開業(yè)的酒店在繼承其品牌標(biāo)志性元素——絕對(duì)舒適、非凡格調(diào)和卓越服務(wù)以外，也向世界宣布了奢華的新定義。

People are changing with the times. And luxury is changing with people. Up to now， the idea of a modern luxury hotel was an oxymoron. Luxury hotels were traditional in design by definition—the more luxurious a hotel was， the more traditional looking it was expected to be. Ian Schrager recognized that this safe approach and \"give no offense\" design philosophy was itself an offense. With The New York EDITION， Ian Schrager and Marriott International respond to this changing landscape by introducing a new luxury to a new generation. The opening of The New York EDITION also inherits the brand's signature elements： absolute comfort， exceptional style and excellent service as all as unique design.

時(shí)髦而不失古韻

擁有273間客房的紐約EDITION酒店坐落在麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)中心大都會(huì)人壽保險(xiǎn)大樓上部?，F(xiàn)在的人們則更加習(xí)慣稱之為“鐘塔”（Clock Tower）。這座仿造威尼斯鐘塔的哥特式建筑建造于1909年，當(dāng)時(shí)這座全紐約最高的建筑可謂擁有無(wú)敵的360度全景色，伊恩·施拉格將新酒店選址于此，想必也是出于這個(gè)原因。

酒店的室內(nèi)設(shè)計(jì)由知名設(shè)計(jì)師大衛(wèi)·洛克威爾（David Rockwell）操刀。大堂內(nèi)，紋路繁雜而古樸的天然材料將整體空間裝飾得低調(diào)而極富戲劇性。超大落地窗遠(yuǎn)眺麥迪遜廣場(chǎng)公園美景，陽(yáng)光反射于銀白色的面料及皮革家具上，大堂和酒吧在此刻好似一盤浸泡在牛奶中的燕麥片，分外惹人喜愛(ài)。大堂走廊的盡頭，蜿蜒而上的樓梯極富藝術(shù)格調(diào)：封閉幽暗的氛圍，锃亮的漆鋼外觀和人工鉛白橡木的內(nèi)部鑲板仿佛要給來(lái)此的賓客制造一份獨(dú)特而親密的藝術(shù)體驗(yàn)。寬大的橡木地板反射出的淺橡木色光亮悄然照亮整個(gè)4.2米層高的空間，若立足靜靜感受，仿佛這光亮還能帶來(lái)一絲溫暖。

樓梯旁，中性色調(diào)的豪華皮質(zhì)沙發(fā)和躺椅隨意擺放，不遠(yuǎn)處即是大堂吧，精挑細(xì)選的上等黑胡桃木書桌立于入口;代表現(xiàn)代工藝的密集光束燈照亮威尼斯式穹頂;而出自芬蘭設(shè)計(jì)藝術(shù)大師阿爾瓦·阿爾之手的躺椅則慵懶的躺在手工鑄造的黑鋼壁爐前，享受著這愜意舒適的時(shí)光。最有趣的要數(shù)在大堂吧與樓梯之間的超大琥珀色玻璃，艷麗的色彩與混凝土制成的象牙色威尼斯式框架形成鮮明對(duì)比，好似迷人的少女朦朧著臉龐，引人遐想。在各處墻角的定制瓷磚模擬建筑物原有的石灰?guī)r立面，又給整棟大樓帶來(lái)獨(dú)特的歷史韻味。

The New York EDITION has 273 rooms and is located in Madison Square landmark - the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower. Built in 1909， the Gothic-style building， which is also referred to as the Clock Tower， was modeled after the Campanile in Venice， Italy. At the time， the absolutely excellent location grants this tallest building in New York City a 360 degree view.

The interior of the hotel is designed by renowned designer David Rockwell. The lobby is a dramatic yet understated space with residential-inspired design elements. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Madison Square Park， the lobby and lobby bar is an expansive yet intimate oasis for guests to soak in a palette of soft tones of oatmeal， silver and white in rich fabrics and leather. A sculptural grand staircase of lacquered steel exterior and a hand-selected cerused White Oak paneling interior creates an intimate and unique experience with its enclosed shape. Wide plank wood flooring in a light oak finish adds warmth to the 14-foot-tall， light filled space.

The hand selected Black Walnut lobby bar and reception niche with desk add warmth to the modern interpretation of a dense beamed Venetian ceiling. Alvaro Aalto lounge chairs rest in front of a 30-foot long， hand-forged blackened steel fireplace， while the oversize， amber illuminated back-bar framed with concrete molding and ivory Venetian plaster wall adds an unexpected and playful twist. Pre-cast custom concrete tiles that mimic the building's original limestone fa?ade form window casings and serve as accents for the walls and floors.

餐廳內(nèi)的優(yōu)雅哲學(xué)

酒店二層約270平米的全日制餐廳Clock Tower歷史悠久。這處由三間餐廳、一間臺(tái)球房和一間酒吧組成的綜合餐廳完美詮釋了紐約EDITION所倡導(dǎo)的優(yōu)雅哲學(xué)。主餐廳的設(shè)計(jì)借鑒自荷蘭大師級(jí)畫家維梅爾（代表油畫包括《戴珍珠耳環(huán)的少女》）的作品，色調(diào)華麗，富有生氣。三間餐廳的橡木地板均被染成烏黑色，紅木餐桌旁擺放著一盆盆暗銅色的郁金香，天花板以象牙色裝飾進(jìn)行點(diǎn)綴，墻壁被一層桃花心木護(hù)墻板所包裹，掛滿一系列用巴洛克金屬框架裱過(guò)的黑白照片。有所不同的是，每個(gè)餐廳都有自己獨(dú)特的主題，包括偉大的美國(guó)藝術(shù)家主題，著名紐約街景主題和美國(guó)代表性建筑主題。每間餐廳內(nèi)都懸掛著由法國(guó)設(shè)計(jì)師Eric Schmitt量身定制的超大號(hào)水晶吊燈，柔和的光芒照射于以玫瑰紅、寶石綠和天空藍(lán)為主色調(diào)的天鵝絨長(zhǎng)椅和沙發(fā)，無(wú)比優(yōu)雅隨性。設(shè)計(jì)師運(yùn)用了許多諸如此類的細(xì)節(jié)來(lái)探尋現(xiàn)代感和時(shí)代感之間的微妙平衡。

On the 2nd floor， about 270 square meters， the full-time Clock Tower restaurant has a long history. This venue consists of three restaurants， a billiard room and a bar， forming a comprehensive interpretation of the elegant philosophy of the New York EDITION. Inspired by the vibrant colors of Dutch Masters such as Vermeer and Rembrandt， the restaurant has ivory colored ornamental restored plaster ceilings and rose， green and blue velvet chairs and sofas， a subtle play between modern and period detail. Located on the second floor of the tower， overlooking Madison Square Park， the restaurant features original， restored oak floors stained in dark ebony， table tops in mahogany wood with dark bronze tulip bases， French polished custom dining chairs upholstered in radiant colored velvet， and walls embraced by beautiful restored landmark mahogany wainscoting. A series of black and white photographs， carefully curated by Trunk Archive， displayed in opulent French baroque gold leaf frames， hang on the walls and each room has its own unique theme， including Great American Artists， New York Street Scenes， American Icons， and Great American Musicians. The dining rooms each feature a custom chandelier， comprised of three black iron arms supporting a 7'-6\" ivory plaster ring， created by French designer Eric Schmitt. Christian Liaigre floor lamps create a luminous glow in the American Icons-themed Dining Room. The designer used a lot of details as this to search for the delicate balance between modern and contemporary.

舊公寓，新奢華

紐約EDITION酒店的客房風(fēng)格完全按照“二十年代的紐約高檔公寓”打造。當(dāng)你踏進(jìn)的一瞬，也許會(huì)有些許迷惑，甚至懷疑自己是不是一不小心“穿越”了！恍然后聯(lián)系整個(gè)酒店的設(shè)計(jì)風(fēng)格，又似乎于情于理。為呼應(yīng)Clock Tower的整體感覺(jué)，許多客房都擁有拱形天花板。洛克威爾將每間客房都設(shè)計(jì)成暗木色調(diào)，這可是上世紀(jì)二十年代紐約豪華公寓的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)顏色。定制地毯鋪于淺色橡木地板上，超大落地窗外，紐約市天際線一覽無(wú)余。絕大多數(shù)房間都擁有曼哈頓區(qū)域180度的觀景視角，而房間內(nèi)，那張深棕色咖啡桌和深胡桃木色的定制床頭板讓人感到無(wú)比安逸，仿佛置身于自家公寓之中。有趣的是，每個(gè)房間里都掛著一張黑白色的房間照，仿佛是對(duì)二十年代的紐約 —— 那被稱為“世界中心”的繁華城市的頂禮膜拜和無(wú)比敬意。

The guest rooms have a luxurious， urban residential apartment feel. In a nod to the Clock Tower's architecture， many guest rooms have vaulted ceilings. Rockwell Group created a tone-on-tone color palette with accents of dark wood， including an oversized walnut paneled headboard and a dark brown coffee table. The rooms are serene， comforting and feel like an oasis from the outside world. There is visual drama， too. The original windows in each room perfectly frame the New York City skyline. Many of the suites have 180-degree views of Manhattan and the 1，400 square foot penthouse apartment has 360-degree vistas. Interestingly， in each room， hung a black and white photo， as if to pay homage to the New York in the 20's_a city called \"world center\" with immense respect.

從上世紀(jì)初葉開始，紐約這座世界中心從來(lái)不缺時(shí)髦與潮流，而紐約EDITION酒店能夠在諸多競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者中脫穎而出，與自身設(shè)計(jì)是分不開的。正如伊恩·施拉格所設(shè)想的那樣，“好的設(shè)計(jì)是第一步，也是最重要的一步，它不僅僅能夠吸引客人的眼球，更能吸引客人的內(nèi)心。”

From the beginning of the last century， New York has never stopped being the fashion center of the world， and so when the New York EDITION stand out among many hotels， it is because of its own excellent design. As Ian Schrager envisaged， \"Good design is the first and most important step， it is not only to attract the attention of the guests， mostly， it attracts the heart.\"
