More News About “Waikiki Edition Hotel”: Will Benefit Ilikai Properties
According to “Hotel Chatter” Blogsite at www.Concierge.com, “Last month, we reported that the Waikiki Edition, the first hotel sprung from the loins, er minds of hotelier greats Bill Marriott and Ian Schrager, would open not in July as we had first hoped but in October instead. This was a bummer of course, but we kept ourselves happy by thinking of the complimentary WiFi that would be available for all guests when the hotel did open.
However, in checking on the hotel today we see that the website* now says Opening in September. Backing up this opening date, is a recent Honolulu Star article about Chef Masaharu Morimoto and his preparations for his restaurant inside the hotel. The Star says the hotel could open in either August or September. We nearly jumped out of our seats. Why, August is just a few weeks away!
You don’t usually mentally link Marriott hotels with Ian Schrager or high style. But, the reliable hotel chain is hoping to change that with a new brand of “lifestyle” hotels called EDITION. The first EDITION hotel is set to open on Waikiki Beach this fall, and the brand itself is part of a partnership between Marriott and Schrager-he of Studio 54 and boutique hotel fame, from the Delano in Miami to the Mondrian in Los Angeles. According to the EDITION press release, “The Brand will be about an attitude and the way it makes you feel rather than the way it looks. Sophisticated public spaces, finishes, design, and details will serve the experience, not drive it.” Yes, the world is turning upside down. What else does the Waikiki EDITION have in store?
