I don’t even know what Marriott / Ian Schrager are trying to do with the EDITION brand these days. On paper it should be a top tier luxury flag with some of the strictest brand standards in the Marriott portfolio (minimum room size, high suite count, “world class” F&B venues, etc). However, IME, most EDITIONs are just full-service hotels with newer hard products. I have never been to the Bodrum EDITION so I can’t comment on that. However the New York, Times Square, Miami South Beach Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai EDITIONs we’re all fine, but not great.

I’ll probably give the Tokyo EDITION a shot (there’s a second Tokyo EDITION opening in Ginza that I also will consider) but other than that… I’m probably done with this brand. I would consider it closer to Andaz/Grand Hyatt than Park Hyatt. The restaurants are definitely very solid though.
