The marque is aiming to double its portfolio to 30 sites by 2027, and is evolving its concept with the introduction of standalone luxury residences.
Ongoing expansion
With 15 hotels currently open worldwide, Edition Hotels expects five new properties to launch in 2023, with four in new destinations including Rome, Mexico’s Riviera Maya at Kanai, Singapore, and Jeddah, along with a second Tokyo location in Ginza.
The brand’s ongoing expansion is slated to continue into 2024 and beyond, with hotel signings this year in several primary destinations, including Lake Como and the Red Sea.
Individualised hotels
Edition is a collection of individualised hotels, balancing design and innovation while combining personal modern luxury service with restaurant, bar and entertainment concepts. Each Edition property delivers a lifestyle experience all under one roof, aimed at reflecting the best of the cultural and social milieu of its location and of the time.
Following the success of Edition residences as part of hotel developments in Miami, West Hollywood, and Tampa, the first standalone Edition branded residences are under development in Miami Edgewater and Fort Lauderdale, anticipated to launch in 2026 and 2027 respectively. The residences represent a new generation of luxury homeownership, designed with Edition’s signature fusion of modern sophistication and authentic creativity inspired by the locale.
Robust pipeline
Josh Fluhr, senior vice president and global MD, commented, “Edition’s rapid hotel growth and the interest from the development community to build standalone residences clearly illustrates the strength of the brand.
“Extending our luxury lifestyle hospitality brand into the standalone residential arena provides our most loyal guests an opportunity to literally live the Edition lifestyle without leaving home. By the end of 2023, we expect that Edition will operate in 20 destinations as we add hotels in new and existing markets across three continents while continuing to build a robust pipeline.”
