I agree that Hilton is underrrepresented in the lifestyle segment, but Marriott has been at Edition for 10 years and just has 15 hotels. It seems very hard to do
Not to derail, but Marriott also has other lifestyle brands like W that provide coverage for that space. IME both have similar vibes. Regardless, Hilton and Hyatt have a lot of catching up in this space - I'm at a W now, sitting at breakfast - crazy busy! Hyatt Studios and Brand #20 aren't cutting it, but alas, we must please developers!
