The Madison Avenue clock tower building sold to Marriott in late 2011, after a brief fling with Tommy Hilfiger. Marriott had plans to developer an Edition brand hotel in the building in partnership with Ian Schrager. (Schrager, coincidentally, was once part owner of the clock tower property, where he planned to develop a boutique hotel with Aby Rosen in 2007.) The Post has an update to all this: the hotel will open in 2015, and it will have 355 rooms. Department of Buildings documents for the site also mention a restaurant, a banquet space, a spa, and a "clock machine room" to operate the clock.
