EDITION London -- from Category 9 to Tier RZ3
EDITION Miami Beach -- from Category 9 to Tier RZ5
It seems that the EDITION brand is being positioned as the hip sibling of Ritz-Carlton, with similarly high prices. I expect all future EDITION properties to be positioned in The Ritz-Carlton Rewards tiers.
Maybe some day there will be an EDITION property that's "only" at Tier 1.
The New York EDITION will be at the top (Tier 5), right from the start.
