London EDITION Hotel [Master Thread]
Was on the Marriott website looking up a London property for someone, and noticed that they're opening an Edition property this October.
The property website is a bit generic at the moment, but location is on Berners Street, which is in the Fitzrovia/Soho area. That's where I'm at oftentimes when in London, but not sure I can give up my beloved Grosvenor House. http://www.marriott.com/hotels/trave...ondon-edition/ "Opening in October 2013 The London EDITION has all the hallmarks of the EDITION brand: lasting comfort, extraordinary style and an exceptional level of service in a uniquely individual environment. Located in central London’s Fitzrovia, The London EDITION brings together, in a delicate balancing act, the integrity and character of a historic building with a simple, sophisticated design sensibility, creating a seamless blend of charisma and ease. With 173 rooms, a restaurant, two bars, a dance club, meeting rooms and a buzzing lobby, the hotel offers a dynamic social hub where guests and visitors can work, relax, socialize and dine all under one roof." Cheers. |
I had noticed the same thing when I was researching London hotels last week. It had popped overnight. Not there one night, then all of the sudden, it was there the next day. Marriott sure has a nice collection of properties in London.

Taking over the Sanderson, perhaps?

The historic Berners Hotel dates back to 1835. The property originally was comprised of five residential houses and was ultimately converted into a hotel. The layout includes a basement, ground and seven upper floors, and incorporates original architectural features, such as ornate ceilings and a marble-clad reception area. The new London EDITION Hotel will be located on Berners Street, in the city’s Fitzrovia neighborhood. This historically bohemian area was once home to writers, including Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and Arthur Rimbaud. Today, it is London’s media and advertising hub. The heart of Fitzrovia is Charlotte Street with its numerous excellent restaurants, boutiques and galleries that will be just minutes from the hotel. Also within walking distance will be the British Museum, Theatreland and Soho. |
I didn't realize it was the old Berners hotel. I stayed there many years ago!
Website also says this: "Flexible sub-level event space, ideal for fashion shows, product launches, playbacks and private social occasions", which of course ties into media & advertising. I can also see them using it during London Fashion Week. Cheers. |
I checked two places and neither indicated that EDITION offers the Platinum free breakfast amenity. Is there a site that offers a better answer?

Yup, no free breakfast at Edition and (curiously) no points for incidental spend either.

Cheers. |
I noticed this on the marriott.com website too.
I was booking a hotel in July and and the hotel actually showed up as available. When I tried to book it, I received the notification that it will not be open until July. Marriott is making moves in London - two new Autograph props, a Bulgari, and an Edition in one year. |

When the Waikiki Edition was around they offered a $25 credit in lieu for either room service or spa.

Not yet bookable with points. I bet it will be a Cat 9. The room descriptions suggest that it does (still) have some small rooms.

Website says not opening until October. Just tried a dummy booking. October 16th is the first date it's available & it's coming in at 295GBP, whether weekday or weekend. It will be interesting to see if the rate stays the same daily. The other Cat 9s rates drop on the weekends. Website isn't showing whether this will be a Cat 8 or 9.

Seem to remember that the Berners Hotel appears in a Sherlock Holmes story.
