Dubai Edition offers a prime location and superior Downtown views – Hotel Insider – The National

Launched by Ian Schrager of Studio 54 fame, in partnership with Marriott International, Edition was envisioned as the anti-hotel chain: luxury properties as unique microcosms of the destination in which they exist, eschewing the bland universality of many international hotel brands. Or, as Schrager told The National: "Hotels that don't act like hotels."

There are Edition hotels in many of the world’s leading cities, including New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Barcelona, Madrid, Shanghai, Tokyo and Abu Dhabi, so it was only a matter of time before Dubai got one of its own.

Designed by LW Design Group, with 275 rooms, this latest addition to the Edition portfolio opened in November in the heart of Downtown Dubai.
