I can't help but laugh... on November 14th, the hotel won't open on the 15th as an EDITION because it doesn't meet brand standards. Now, on November 16th, it's open as an EDITION because "there no longer seems to be any issue" and they are "excited about the addition of this property" to their portfolio.

Double-you tee eff?

Marriott to open The Dubai EDITION as planned

The international operator says its excited about the launch

November 16, 2021 - The Dubai EDITION is now open, becoming the second EDITION property in the region, after Abu Dhabi.

The new hotel is in Downtown Dubai, with views of the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Fountains. Popular restaurant CZN Burak and the Dubai Mall is just across the road, for those familiar with the area.

The opening comes just a couple of days after a spokesperson for the EDITION brand, which is part of Marriott International’s portfolio, said the property would be known as The E Dubai Hotel at first.

However, there no longer seems to be any issue with launching as an EDITION, as originally planned.

In a statement, Marriott said: “Marriott International and the owners have agreed to open The Dubai EDITION on November 15, 2021. We are excited about the addition of this property to our luxury portfolio in the UAE.”

Designed by LW Design Group, the hotel from developers Sol Properties features 275 guestrooms including 45 suites. Restaurants include Italian venue DUOMO, which has an outdoor terrace; Jolie, French restaurant inspired by Mediterranean coastal flavours; Thia, a poolside bar and lounge with uninterrupted views of the Burj Khalifa; and speakeasy-style bar Leon.

The hotel also has a spa with three treatment rooms, a pool, and a gym. There are also meeting rooms and a flexible event space.
