Picture it--December 2009. HotelChatter was up late at night agonizing over our end of the year awards and when it came to Worst Hotel Hype, we had to go with Edition Hotels. 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.

Then all of a sudden, the Edition floodgates opened in 2010. Waikiki is on for September/October, Istanbul, Barcelona, Bangkok and Mexico City are all confirmed and a location has just been set for Miami. What a difference a new year makes! And the news doesn't end there. We've got a hot tip about the Mexico City Edition Hotel.

A tipster writes:

This hotel will be in the new business district in Mexico City: Santa Fe. It will form part of a multi-purpose complex called Samara. This complex will house a completely new Edition Hotel, a small luxurious mall and office space.

The tipster left a website for Samara (http://www.samara.mx/en/) and when we skipped over there, we didn't find much information, aside from that the hotel's artistic design will be done by Schrager but we did find some pretty cool renderings. This building looks a bit like the Jenga! design of Bangkok Edition.

And if the renderings are to be believed, expect a couple of large pools and everyone pulling up to the hotel at night in their fancy cars. We love it!

No word on when this hotel will open but given that Waikiki and Miami are both being built out of existing properties, we're getting anxious for an entirely new Edition building to take shape. Let's hope Bill and Ian don't keep us waiting long. As always, we'll keep you posted.

Heard any news about Edition Hotels? Let us know!
