The Edge Hotel, New York

514 W 168th St, New York, NY 10032, USA (show on map)

The Edge Hotel, located in Manhattan’s historic Washington Heights neighborhood, is a modern boutique stay that offers a quiet, elevated escape from the city’s frantic pace. Positioned right on 168th Street, the hotel is just steps away from the Columbia University Irving Medical Center and a short walk from the subway, making it an incredibly convenient base for visitors.

The hotel’s design is a standout feature, intentionally focused on verticality and light to maximize its compact footprint. A unique artistic touch is found throughout the property: guest rooms, hallways, and meeting spaces feature a deconstructed stained-glass motif. This design is inspired by the area’s historic architecture and was hand-screened by Brooklyn-based artist Chris Pieretti, who also incorporated lighting and furniture pieces to create a cohesive, clean aesthetic.

History buffs will appreciate the hotel’s proximity to some of the city’s most significant cultural landmarks. You are located near the Morris-Jumel Mansion, the oldest house in Manhattan, and the stunning Fort Tryon Park. The park itself is a landscape masterpiece designed by the Olmsted Brothers, and it houses The Met Cloisters, a world-class museum dedicated to medieval art and home to the famous “Unicorn Tapestries.”

Whether you are looking to visit the nearby George Washington Bridge or explore the lush, cliff-side gardens overlooking the Hudson River, the Edge Hotel provides a peaceful, art-focused sanctuary in one of New York’s most culturally rich and geographically distinct neighborhoods.

We stayed at the hotel for one night and had such a great experience thanks to Dominic! He was super friendly, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell he really cares about the guests. Great service and awesome attitude. Thank you, Dominic!

Perfect location for a great nights rest!

Eric checked me in and was super helpful and efficient. Bonus as it was 10pm and I had a one year old with me. He was clearly and concise and made the check in effortless. I was pleased to see him at checked out also. And housekeeper Elizabeth was kind. I will definitely stay again. A vestibule by M101 bus which is handy and a minutes walk up Amsterdam.

There was thin black lines of mold on the shower cubicle ceiling in room 904 and in the crevices of the grouting which was a bit worrying.

Reasonably priced, well-appointed uptown option

Great location close to 2 subway lines (A/C and 1) and platform elevators. Convenient services in neighborhood (24 hour greengrocer and deli within 1-2 blocks on the way to the subway). Well appointed room (lots of outlets, lighting, tall faucet for filling water bottles). Since our stay was long (5 days), free fridge was brought in. Great view of downtown skyscrapers. Lounge area was good place to entertain visitors since room is typical small NYC space.

Shower leaked (faulty gasket on underside of door?), but since towels were changed daily, not a big deal.

Had no choice, but it's still not a fair reason to charge 200% more than normal because ............

The price was too high and you raised the rate for selfish reasons...

A welcome retreat in Washington Heights

The only hotel in the Washington Heights area, offering very good value for those that need access to the nearby NYC Presbyterian hospital or Columbia facilities. The rooms were surprisingly quiet, cozy and all the amenities worked. Bathroom was fine, everything was very clean. Maid service each day. The front staff was very friendly and accommodating, always greeting you with a smile. They also brought up a mini fridge which made our extended 2-week stay much more comfortable. The neighborhood looks rough--and it probably is later at night--but it has a lot of character. There's lots of food places, a supermarket, even a Target all within walking distance. The subway is a three minute walk down the street.

The air conditioner cooled, but it didn't seem cool enough. Those appliances make noise, something I'm not a fan of. But it never got too hot. And the windows opened and let in cool air.

The fact that you have a fan running non stop in the bathroom, it can get loud especially at night.

Comfortable stay in a lovely, well run hotel

Modern, clean, thoughtful touches and close to amenities. It was ideal for my short stay helping to settle my daughter into accommodation nearby. The reception team were very friendly and helpful and the room was beautifully clean with a fabulous view of the New York skyline.

A small fridge might be useful.
