We enjoy walking but are happy to use public transportation or taxis. I would be booking a 1-bedroom suite at either hotel through a STARS travel advisor; perks like free breakfast are included at both hotels (even at the Edition). Price is roughly the same for a comparable suite at either hotel for my date (so price is not a factor).

Here's what I've been weighing:
  • JW Marriott:
    • Highly recommended with excellent reviews.
    • Located near Marina Bay Sands and many attractions in that area.
    • Main con is that it feels like it's in more of a business district. I also don't love the décor from the reviews I've seen.
  • The Edition:
    • New hotel and it matches my preference for style and design.
    • Situated on Orchard Road, close to the Christmas lights, which sounds appealing.
    • Main con is that we don't shop, and I know this is in the main shopping area.
Can someone please help me decide?
I think the answer is in your comparison already… read it again with a fresh pair of eyes

If I were you I would take Edition. Just because its in a shopping area shouldnt stop you from staying there. Plus why would you stay in a hotel where you dont like the decor
