HONOLULU—The first Edition Hotel will open in the Waikiki section of Honolulu in 2010 through a conversion of an existing hotel, HOTEL BUSINESS® has learned.
Marriott International and Ian Schrager Hotels are co-developing Edition, which the partners describe as a luxury lifestyle brand with a high service component.
The existing hotel that theyve chosen is The Ilikai, a 1960s-era high-rise building situated at the entrance to Waikiki Beach.
The hotel gained fame from being depicted in the opening scenes of Hawaii Five-O, a popular television show of that era.
