Review: The Dubai EDITION Hotel

Does anyone else find the outdoors/picnic-table style furniture in the otherwise more-sophisticated looking room decor to be a turnoff.

Pool looks great for a city property. Love that view.

I stayed at the EDITION Madrid. It was very trendy as well with really good service in a great neighborhood. I think their toiletries are really high quality with a great scent. (They charge a premium for them as well!)

I do! I'm not a fan of the picnic table in that setting.

Lit candles seem like a great idea in a desert city, as does basic international tourist food with bad service amongst other things. Nice to be near the mall tho?

That looked like a long reach for the toilet paper in both bathrooms. And are telephones in bathrooms still a thing?

1) The upgrade isn't compliant with Bonvoy. You're entitled to the best available room or suite at check-in. If a deluxe suite is available, you're supposed to get that regardless of whether this is your first or tenth stay.

2) How is this luxury? One bar of soap, no bathtub products, no mouthwash or dental kit, no stocked mini-bar, etc. Edition is supposed to be a younger version of Ritz-Carlton.

3) Similarly, the decor looks like something you would have seen at a new hotel 10 years ago. It also doesn't look like luxury. I'll take the JW Marriott Marquis over the Edition.

4) On the whole, this looks like a very generic hotel. I guess in a city like Dubai they have essentially run out of brands since all the high-end brands are present. So, now they're onto secondary brands like Edition. But the whole design is just bland and comes across like they went through the motions.

What's with the image trim of the closest picture? Lol.

Interesting review though, probably worth a stay....

Do Emirates flight crew not live in Dubai?

Regarding the breakfast, while the menu promises "fresh fruit juice", the actual version looks more like "fresh from the supermarket shelf.

They’re still useful if someone from the hotel calls while you’re in the bathroom.

1) No, you are not entitled to the “best available.. suite”, at least bother to learn the rules before posting. It is hilarious how much you sound like the Hilton “but I’m a Diamond member” parody, which is funny given your name…

2) The dental kit etc is all tidied away in a box below the sink…

3) I stayed at the JWM once, it’s a horrible Vegas style monstrosity dumped in Dubai where you are treated as a number rather than a person. How anyone could find that luxurious is beyond me. The Dubai EDITION isn’t really luxury but it is streets ahead (based on 3-4 stays to date).

4) This is pretty much the EDITION standard design.

And I quote: "Complimentary Enhanced Room Upgrade for Platinum Elite Members. Platinum Elite Members and above receive a complimentary upgrade to the best available room, subject to availability on the day of arrival, for the entire length of stay. Complimentary upgrade includes suites, rooms with desirable views, rooms on high floors, corner rooms, rooms with special amenities or rooms on Executive Floors." See section 4.3.c.(iii) of the Bonvoy terms and conditions.

BEST AVAILABLE ROOM. Period.

Quite the effort to reach Titanium status as a crew member, that requires staying in a Marriott on almost any night that you have a day off!

Hotel seems unremarkable, but ok. Service seems typical for the Middle East, well intended but a bit hit and miss.

Nor am I............ They could have done a lot better!!

Best available ROOM, not best available suite. The Deluxe Suite here is a premium suite, not an entry level one. Presumably you are one of those idiots that think a Platinum is entitled to turn up and demand the Presidential Suite…

I give up.

Room is defined to include suite. Marriott used to have the legacy Starwood language that excluded certain suites -- essentially limiting a suite upgrade to select or standard suites (aka entry-level) -- but that has been removed. If the suite category is in the upgrade pool for suite night award certificates then it is also eligible for space-available suite upgrades upon check-in.

If someone want to work in your hotel so how can he apply?

Dubai Edition lobby is stunning. The spiral staircase is strikingly architectural design. Pool side views are the best in Downtown as I love Downtown the proximity to Boulevard and Dubai Mall . I have dined in Duomo love the food and ambiance. I stayed in one of the rooms with uninterrupted views of Burj Khalifa and ordered room service breakfast . It is very stylish hotel and bathroom amenities are really high class with great scent. My experience was sophisticated and stylish I think it is the future of luxury
