i have a planned stay in late September. Trying to figure out if I spend all six nights at EDITION or split it up and spend a few nights actually in Bodrum city. Also a small chance I need to move my trip to mid/late October. Does the weather cool off so much that the beach isn’t as enjoyable? I’d rather ask those that know then trust the average climate graphs.
Not sure about the temperature in mid/late October but I know for sure the property shuts down at some point - worth double checking the exact date for this year.

How long does the transfer from the airport take? And would you advise just getting a taxi?
I’m arriving at 20:00 so wondering whether to stay in a nearby hotel overnight first or go to Edition directly..

Taxis in Turkey are well regulated and metered, it is perfectly fine to take taxis.

I got here last night off the same Turkish Airlines flight. Transfer is about 45 minutes. Took us a while to get the bags so we got to the hotel at around 9:30pm. I booked a transfer (got a spacious Mercedes Vito) for about 230 lira.

Bodrum VIP transfer. They were fine - the driver was a bit grumpy but the car was in decent condition and they showed up on time. Many other companies offering the same service at similar prices - don’t think you can go wrong with any of the higher ranked ones.
Btw the hotel is pretty much booked 100% until mid September so if you are hoping for an upgrade you should reach out and confirm that in advance - elite upgrades will be difficult to come by. We paid a little upcharge to confirm a better room. Happy with that decision as the many of the base level garden view rooms seem to have limited privacy.

I was in touch with the concierge to arrange spa and restaurant bookings so just asked them to put me in touch with the appropriate person. The front office manager then reached out and we worked out the upgrade from there. I would take a look at what inventory is still available for sale over your dates closer to your stay and decide whether you want to pay for an upgrade. For my dates the inventory gradually dwindled down and completely disappeared about a week prior to check in. Good luck!

How did you input the address of the edition? I wasn't able to use the hotel name or address.
