HotelChatter was up late at night agonizing over our <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/HotelChatter%202009%20Awards">end of the year awards</a> and when it came to Worst Hotel Hype, we had to go with <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/12/30/102111/17/hotels/Worst_Hotel_Hype_Edition_Hotels"><b>Edition Hotels</b></a>. That's because nearly two years after announcing the Bill Marriott-Ian Schrager partnership, no Edition Hotels had opened yet. Numerous locations had been tossed about but nothing seemed concrete.<p>Then all of a sudden, the Edition floodgates opened in 2010. <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/7/6/94121/28099/hotels/The_Waikiki_Edition_Says_it_Will_Open_in_September_">Waikiki</a> is on for September/October, Istanbul, Barcelona, Bangkok and Mexico City are all confirmed and a location has just been set for <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2010/7/15/12312/3524/hotels/Bill_Marriott_and_Ian_Schrager_Find_a_Home_for_their_Edition_Hotel_in_Miami_">Miami</a>.

Sadly, we don't have much more to go on but we've been hearing a lot of good things about the cosmopolitan hotel scene in Mexico City these days. So this destination is 1,000 times more exciting than Waikiki. <p>Keep it up <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/bill marriott">Bill</a> and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/ian schrager">Ian</a>!
