The Waikiki Edition Says it Will Open in September
Last month, we reported that the Waikiki Edition, the first hotel sprung from the loins, er minds of hotelier greats Bill Marriott and Ian Schrager, would open not in July as we had first hoped but in October instead. This was a bummer of course, but we kept ourselves happy by thinking of the complimentary WiFi that would be available for all guests when the hotel did open.
However, in checking on the hotel today we see that the website* now says Opening in September. Backing up this opening date, is a recent Honolulu Star article about Chef Masaharu Morimoto and his preparations for his restaurant inside the hotel. The Star says the hotel could open in either August or September. We nearly jumped out of our seats. Why, August is just a few weeks away!
However, we know better than to get our hopes up over a hotel opening. When we tried to make a reservation for September, no dates worked, leading us to believe an October opening is still the month Edition is going to first appear. As always, we'll be keeping tabs of specifically what day the hotel will open and how you can make a reservation.
In other Edition Hotels news, the Edition Hotels website says Istanbul and Bangkok are coming soon (which we already knew about) but up next is now Mexico City (which we had heard rumors about) and Barcelona. Ole!
Got any more scoop on what's going on with Edition Hotels? Tip us off!
* There are two websites for the Waikiki Edition--one hosted on Marriott.com and another on Edition Hotels. We used the Marriott.com page.
