EDITION Review 2026: Record Score of 64, 22 Hotels, Marriott and Ian Schrager
EDITION is nineteenth of twenty brands on our luxury hotel brand hierarchy, at 64 out of 100: EDITION Hotels, envisioned by Ian Schrager and Marriott International, is counted at 22 hotels and 4,617 rooms in Marriott's own filing at the end of 2025, with no founding year, no separate brand leader and no room rate printed on any EDITION page we opened. This record is the evidence file behind that score. It sets out what EDITION publishes about itself, how Forbes Travel Guide and the MICHELIN Guide rate the EDITION hotels we could read, what could not be found, and where our other pages and EDITION's own figures disagree.

How EDITION scores: 64 out of 100
EDITION scores 64 out of 100, nineteenth of twenty brands: 9 of 20 for rate band, 18 of 25 for consistency across the portfolio, 11 of 20 for service depth, 14 of 15 for food and drink, and 12 of 20 for privacy and scale. The points are the luxury hotel brand hierarchy's of 7 September 2026, carried unchanged; under each criterion is what we could read on 26 September 2026. None of it contradicts a figure the hierarchy prints, though EDITION's own destinations page lists around 40 hotel names across four regions without separating which are open, so Marriott's year-end count of 22 is the only dated total this record could confirm.
| Criterion | Points | Out of | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rate band | 9 | 20 | No EDITION page we opened prints a rate outside booking. The hierarchy places EDITION in its lifestyle luxury band, EUR 250 to 600 a night. |
| Consistency across the portfolio | 18 | 25 | Marriott's 2025 annual report counts 22 EDITION hotels with 4,617 rooms at the end of 2025, in line with the hierarchy's 'some two dozen'. The MICHELIN Guide lists 20 and gives One Key to seven (Reykjavik, Shanghai, Singapore, Sanya, Jeddah, The Red Sea and Lake Como); London, Rome, Tokyo and Miami Beach have none. Forbes Travel Guide rates London, Rome and Abu Dhabi Four-Star and Tokyo Toranomon and Singapore Recommended. |
| Service depth | 11 | 20 | No EDITION page we opened publishes staff numbers or service standards; EDITION calls itself 'a personal and unique hotel experience'. |
| Food and drink | 14 | 15 | EDITION's pages call Jason Atherton (The London EDITION) and Jean-Georges Vongerichten (The Miami Beach EDITION) 'Michelin-starred' chefs without naming a starred EDITION restaurant; The Lake Como EDITION's restaurant is Cetino by Mauro Colagreco. No MICHELIN-starred EDITION restaurant was confirmed. |
| Privacy and scale | 12 | 20 | Rooms by the MICHELIN Guide: Jeddah 63, Shanghai 145, Lake Como 148, London 173, Singapore 204, Tokyo Toranomon 206, Reykjavik 253, Miami Beach 294 and Sanya 501. Marriott's 4,617 rooms across 22 hotels average about 210. |
| Total | 64 | 100 | Luxury hotel brand hierarchy score of 7 September 2026, carried unchanged; evidence read 26 September 2026. |
EDITION publishes who conceived it, Ian Schrager and Marriott International, and which cities its hotels sit in; it publishes little else a guest could check before booking: no founding year, no separate brand leader, no room rate outside booking and no single count of open hotels on its own site. Outside figures fill part of the gap: Marriott's annual filing counts 22 hotels and 4,617 rooms at the end of 2025, and the MICHELIN Guide gives One Key, its only grade reached by this brand, to seven of the twenty EDITION hotels it lists. Forbes Travel Guide rates three EDITION hotels Four-Star and two Recommended; none of the five read reaches Five-Star.
The evidence record
The record holds 17 facts about EDITION, each with its source and grade. Grade A means the company's own site or terms; grade B means a rating body such as Forbes Travel Guide or the MICHELIN Guide, a registry or major press; grade C means a secondary source not confirmed elsewhere. Every line was read on 26 September 2026 unless its source says otherwise.

Who owns EDITION?
EDITION is a Marriott International brand envisioned with Ian Schrager; its own pages name no separate brand leader and no founding year.
EDITION's the idea page names Ian Schrager and Marriott International as the brand's creators but gives Schrager no formal title beyond that, and dates no founding year for EDITION. Marriott's own investor relations page names Anthony Capuano as president and chief executive officer of Marriott International, the parent, with no EDITION-specific executive named on any page we opened. Marriott's head office, 7750 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, Maryland, is the only address printed for the brand.
Our luxury hotel brand hierarchy names the owner as "Marriott International with Ian Schrager", which fits EDITION's own "envisioned by Ian Schrager and Marriott International" and Marriott's count of the brand in its own filing, so this record finds no disagreement on ownership to send to the hierarchy's next re-score.
How many hotels does EDITION have?
Marriott's annual filing counted 22 EDITION hotels and 4,617 rooms at the end of 2025; EDITION's own destinations page lists about 40 names across four regions without separating which are open. Room counts are published for the following hotels, read on 26 September 2026.
| Hotel | Where | Rooms |
|---|---|---|
| The Miami Beach EDITION | Miami Beach, USA | 294, including 28 bungalow rooms and suites |
| The New York EDITION | New York, USA | 271 |
| The London EDITION | London, UK | 173 |
| The Lake Como EDITION | Lake Como, Italy | 148: 24 suites, 2 penthouses and 1 villa |
| The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon | Tokyo, Japan | 206, including 22 suites |
| The Singapore EDITION | Singapore | 204 |
EDITION's coming soon page names 15 properties with no opening dates: Dali and 14 more, Arava Desert, Athens, Bali, Cape Town, Dallas, Detroit, Doha, Kuala Lumpur, Mexico City, Milan, Mumbai, Nashville, Nayarit and Riyadh. The Dali EDITION's own page reads as open, "The Dali EDITION welcomes you", so Dali's status is unclear on EDITION's own site. Whether a first season at a new hotel like these is worth the risk is weighed in should you book a brand-new luxury hotel, and the Lake Como EDITION's place among the lake's other hotels is set out in our Lake Como stays guide.
How EDITION's hotels are rated by Forbes Travel Guide and the MICHELIN Guide
None of the hotels this record could read on Forbes Travel Guide reaches Five-Star, and the MICHELIN Guide gives its only grade for this brand, One Key, to seven of the twenty EDITION hotels it lists.
| Hotel | Forbes Travel Guide | MICHELIN Keys | Rooms |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Jeddah EDITION | Not read | One | 63 |
| The Rome EDITION | Four-Star | No Key | 93 |
| The Shanghai EDITION | Not read | One | 145 |
| The Lake Como EDITION | Not read | One | 148 |
| The London EDITION | Four-Star | No Key | 173 |
| The Abu Dhabi EDITION | Four-Star | No Key | 198, plus 57 serviced residences |
| The Singapore EDITION | Recommended | One | 204 |
| The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon | Recommended | No Key | 206, including 22 suites |
| The Red Sea EDITION | Not read | One | 240 |
| The Reykjavik EDITION | Not read | One | 253 |
| The Miami Beach EDITION | Not read | No Key | 294 |
| The Sanya EDITION | Not read | One | 501 |
Forbes Travel Guide grades hotels Recommended, Four-Star or Five-Star: it rates London, Abu Dhabi and Rome Four-Star and Tokyo Toranomon and Singapore Recommended; its pages for New York and Miami Beach redirect to the Forbes home page and could not be opened. The MICHELIN Guide gives One Key each to Reykjavik, Shanghai, Singapore, Sanya, Jeddah, The Red Sea and Lake Como, with no year printed on any of the seven pages; none reaches Two or Three Keys, the grades some rival brands hold.
How to book EDITION, and whether any perks come with it
EDITION hotels take part in Marriott Bonvoy, while EDITION Residences do not; no preferred partner or adviser programme, cancellation terms or best rate guarantee was found on any EDITION page we opened.
Marriott's loyalty terms list EDITION among the participating brands, "all locations except for: EDITION Residences do not participate in the Loyalty Program"; no EDITION or Marriott page we opened states whether member rates, room upgrades or points earning work any differently at EDITION than at Marriott's other brands. The chain top tiers a Bonvoy member might already hold are compared in Hilton Diamond vs Marriott Titanium vs Hyatt Globalist and the hotel status match guide.
For a traveller weighing cards rather than status, general luxury travel cards are set out in our guide to the best luxury travel credit cards and, head to head, in Amex Platinum vs Chase Sapphire Reserve; a card built around hotel elite status specifically is compared in our hotel elite status credit card guide. No EDITION page states a nightly rate; the special offers page lists percentage discounts rather than prices.
Who EDITION suits, and who it does not
EDITION suits a Marriott Bonvoy member who wants a hotel in a major city from a brand envisioned with Ian Schrager, and who will book without a published rate; it suits less well anyone who wants a fixed hotel count, a rate before enquiring, or the tier above it on the hierarchy.
Most of the named EDITION hotels sit in large cities, London, New York, Singapore, Tokyo and Shanghai among them; city trips more widely are weighed in best city break destinations. Lake Como, Sanya and The Red Sea are among the exceptions; at Lake Como, Cetino by Mauro Colagreco is the hotel's restaurant, and the lake's other hotels are set out in our Lake Como stays guide.
On our luxury hotel brand hierarchy EDITION sits nineteenth of twenty, ahead of only Nobu Hotels; how the tier above it compares on the same five criteria is set out in the hierarchy.
EDITION: the decisions that come next
Which brand, how to book through Bonvoy or a card, where EDITION sits in its cities, and whether a new opening is worth the risk are the next decisions, and each has its own page here.
| Decision | What matters | Where we cover it |
|---|---|---|
| Which brand | Twenty brands scored on the same five criteria. | Luxury hotel brand hierarchy |
| How to book | Bonvoy status or a card; the perks differ. | Hilton vs Marriott vs Hyatt top tiers; Best luxury travel credit cards |
| Points or no points | EDITION shares Marriott Bonvoy; EDITION Residences do not. | Status match guide |
| A new EDITION | Fourteen pipeline hotels named with no opening dates, plus Dali, whose status is unclear. | Should you book a brand-new hotel? |
| EDITION in its cities | Most named hotels sit in large cities; Lake Como, Sanya and The Red Sea are among the exceptions. | Best city break destinations; Lake Como stays guide |
Where EDITION stands on Uncompromised Travel
EDITION appears on five Uncompromised Travel pages with a position or a figure, and holds a numbered rank on one of them.
| Page | Position | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury hotel brand hierarchy | No. 19 of 20, 64/100 | Names the owner "Marriott International with Ian Schrager", which fits EDITION's own "envisioned by Ian Schrager and Marriott International"; its "some two dozen hotels" fits Marriott's 22 at the end of 2025 |
| Should you book a brand-new luxury hotel? | No score | Names the Lake Como EDITION and says "EDITION openings are typically managed cleanly"; EDITION's own page for the hotel names its restaurant, Cetino by Mauro Colagreco, but prints no opening date to check this against |
| Hotel elite benefits compared | No score | Says Marriott's Nightly Upgrade Awards come "up to five days before arrival (three at EDITION, Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis)"; Marriott's Bonvoy terms confirm EDITION hotels take part in the programme, though the timing is not printed on an EDITION page we opened |
| Hilton Diamond vs Marriott Titanium vs Hyatt Globalist | No score | Lists EDITION inside the Marriott Bonvoy lineup with no hotel count; matches Bonvoy's own terms, which name EDITION among its participating brands |
| Lake Como luxury stays guide | No score | Says the Lake Como EDITION opens in 2026 in a 19th-century palazzo, with the first Italian restaurants from chef Mauro Colagreco; EDITION's own page names Cetino by Mauro Colagreco but states no opening date |
Alternatives to EDITION to compare
The nearest alternatives on the same rubric are the brands scored immediately above and below EDITION: St. Regis, The Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria and Nobu Hotels. St. Regis and The Ritz-Carlton share EDITION's parent, Marriott International; Nobu Hotels sits beside it in the hierarchy's lifestyle luxury tier.
| Brand | Score | How it differs |
|---|---|---|
| St. Regis | 73 | Also a Marriott brand; 66 hotels and 14,241 rooms at the end of 2025, three times EDITION's 22 hotels and 4,617 rooms |
| The Ritz-Carlton | 71 | Also a Marriott brand; 126 hotels and 32,279 rooms at the end of 2025, with four Reserve hotels holding Three MICHELIN Keys against EDITION's best of One |
| Waldorf Astoria | 69 | Owned by Hilton, not Marriott; 40 hotels and 9,762 rooms at 30 June 2026, with Keys at 13 of the 17 hotels the MICHELIN Guide lists against EDITION's 7 of 20 |
| Nobu Hotels | 60 | Run by Nobu Hospitality; 20 hotels open and 27 more Coming Soon, with a single MICHELIN Key, at Atlanta, against EDITION's seven |
What this record does not show
Seven things a guest would want could not be found or verified for EDITION. Supplying a verifiable source closes a gap; it changes the evidence, never the rubric.
| Missing | Where we looked |
|---|---|
| EDITION's founding year | Not found on EDITION's home, the idea, hotels, destinations, coming soon or press pages, or on Marriott's own brand pages |
| A named global brand leader | No page names a global head for EDITION; Ian Schrager is credited only as a co-creator of the concept |
| A hotel or country total on EDITION's own pages | Its destinations page lists about 40 names across four regions without labelling which are open |
| EDITION Residences' unit count | The residences page on Marriott's own residences site could not be opened |
| Booking terms or an adviser programme | No cancellation window, deposit rule, best rate guarantee or preferred partner scheme was found on any EDITION page |
| A MICHELIN-starred EDITION restaurant | None was named on the restaurant pages we opened, including Lake Como, London and Miami Beach |
| Forbes ratings for New York and Miami Beach | Both hotels' Forbes Travel Guide pages redirected to the Forbes home page |
What changed at EDITION, 2025 to 2026
Marriott's own filing dates one change precisely, the year-end 2025 count; the MICHELIN Keys and Forbes ratings this record cites carry no date of their own, so they are dated to when we read them.
| When | What happened | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Year-end 2025 | EDITION reached 22 hotels and 4,617 rooms in Marriott's annual filing | Marriott's annual filing |
