New Addition

A unique concept in the lifestyle hotel genre was conceived by superstar hotelier Ian Schrager and Marriott International. The new Miami Beach EDITION Hotel and Residences combines the intimate and individualized lodging experience for which Schrager is known, with the global reach, operational expertise and scale of Marriott. Located in Mid-Beach- the historic heart of Miami Beach between South Beach and North Beach- the EDITION is situated on a 3.5-acre private enclave. It’s not merely a boutique hotel, the property also has 26 stunning private residences included in the 294 understated rooms with light paneled walls- barefoot chic- of which 23 are two-story bungalows. The elegantly designed, intricately interlinked complex of structures, spaces and settings offer a new kind of luxury resort environment.

For Schrager, the EDITION was an opportunity to make a new splash in Miami almost 20 years after opening his iconic and chic Delano in 1995. Now international and global, Schrager feels Miami in 2015 is a brand new Miami- arguably, the most energetic and vibrantly growing city in the western hemisphere- where the influencers from around the globe can experience his world-class tropical resort. Legendary chef Jean-George Vongerichten makes his Miami Beach debut with the upscale Matador, a gourmet-casual eatery. There are two swimming pools and a private sandy area set up for causal picnics and movie nights. In addition, The Basement is a Studio-54- that’s where it all started for Schrager back in the 70’s- inspired nightclub adjacent to a four-lane bowling alley and 2,000 square-foot ice skating rink. Miami is the latest installation of the EDITION- currently in Istanbul and London- and there are other hotels planned for NYC, Abu Dhabi, China, India and Thailand. Expected to open in 2017, the West Hollywood EDITION will be the West Coast’s flagship location.  www.editionhotels.com
