Despite the on-going global Covid-19 pandemic, EDITION Hotels has already announced its further international expansion in 2021 with the slated opening of seven new properties across three continents.

The new openings include sites in Rome, Madrid, Dubai, Reykjavik, Tampa, Mexico’s Riviera Maya at Kanai and its second property in Tokyo.

With 11 hotels operating worldwide currently, 2021 will underscore the brand’s exponential growth with a total of 18 properties globally. EDITION Hotels ongoing expansion includes many further sites expected to open in 2022 and beyond.

EDITION Hotels was conceived by hotel visionary and cultural icon Ian Schrager.

The brand also benefits from the global scale and operational expertise of Marriott International.

Every EDITION Hotel is unique, reflecting the social and cultural milieu of the time and place of its creation. Each new property will be individually developed in collaboration with one of the world’s most eminent designers chosen specifically for that location, and introduce original F&B concepts from internationally renowned chefs. The end result offers the best of dining and entertainment, services and amenities “all under one roof”.

“I’ve always been committed to being involved in special projects on a global scale that go to places that no one has been before. I’m thrilled to work in partnership with Marriott and the opportunity to see these hotels come to life across the world is a dream come true. Seven is the lucky number, I look forward to 2021 being our best year yet.” Ian Schrager.
