Expert reviews
“Debuted in November 2018 as EDITION’s first property in the Middle East, The Abu Dhabi EDITION is a stunning microcosm of the city it inhabits. While Arabian culture and heritage are referenced prolifically throughout the property, this place is thoroughly modern and adds a dash of high-octane glamor to Abu Dhabi’s crowded hotel scene.”
“This first EDITION branded property in the Middle East sets itself apart both in its design and waterfront location. The stylish 198-room hotel is like nothing else in the capital and gets kudos for teaming up with celebrated British chef Tom Aikens, the man behind its three quality culinary concepts.”

All you need to know
Marriott’s EDITION, a high-end boutique concept, is globally adaptable. The overall aesthetic, blending sophisticated boutique-inspired design with true luxury hotel amenities, echoes its counterparts in locations such as New York and Milan.
Yet, the Abu Dhabi EDITION carries a distinctive local flair; even its architectural outline pays homage to the traditional ship sails of the Arabian Gulf. An exquisite spa and a coveted location near the marina enhance its allure; dining options include the Oak Room, a quintessential British steakhouse by UK chef Tom Aikens, offset by his wellness-focused Market.
Rooms at this hotel are minimalistic and peaceful. It has a very bright and airy design with a neutral color palette, which complements the ocean views. Like many hotels in the area, the Abu Dhabi Edition also offers superb massage, hammam, sauna, and jacuzzi experiences. If you want to play some golf, there is a course nearby.
Visitors enjoyed Abu Dhabi EDITION’s interior design, friendly staff, and tasty brunch.

Amazing hotel experience
Everything in this hotel is perfect — from the way they welcomed us to how friendly the receptionist was. She truly made us feel special! They even gave us an upgrade as a kind gesture for the short wait during check-in. The whole experience felt so thoughtful and made our stay even more amazing. Can’t wait to come back again!

Very good
I don't like it when I ask to delay the check out because I have an appointment in the hospital. She told me I would keep the luggage down until you came from the hospital. No matter if we delay one hour. Also, the AC does not work, too much hot in night we can't sleep will. If we compare the last to visit for as it was more clean and the furniture not used to much like know.

This hotel is defining how luxurious experience should look like, if any reviews said overpriced this is absolutely not true because from the level of services and experience team provided unforgettable experience that made this top of the hotels that I har visited Especial thanks to Iresha for the great arraignment for our 9th anniversary it was excellent and looking to all details and never seen it in any 5stars hotels
Nothing at all everything was beautiful

Respect
Everything about this hotel was amazing — from the warm welcome to the farewell. The design of the hotel, the room, and the bathroom were beyond stunning. All the staff were helpful and attentive. They even surprised me with a birthday cake, which truly made my day. This definitely won’t be my last visit. Absolutely outstanding!
The only downside was that the pool was closed during my stay, though I understand it might have been for maintenance. Also, the gym was quite hot and humid, which made working out a bit uncomfortable. Other than that? Absolutely outstanding!

An amazing stay full of positive energy! The staff were super helpful and very professional from start to finish. My roo
The architecture of the hotel is absolutely stunning. Inside, it’s gorgeous filled with natural light and featuring beautiful contrasts between wood and lighting, especially in the central areas. The location is also perfect, right in front of Ladurée and surrounded by excellent-quality coffee shops. The service exceeded all my expectations. I even felt nostalgic when leaving, as I formed a lovely connection with the staff in such a short time. Despite arriving late, I was warmly welcomed by a wonderful lady Latifa, if I remember correctly who offered me a coffee and made me feel instantly at ease. She was truly lovely. The entire team was exceptional, especially Mark and the bellman, they were simply outstanding, absolutely beyond 10/10. When I visited the mosque, the hotel kindly lent me a traditional robe 👘, which made the experience even more special and thoughtful. This is without a doubt the hotel to stay at in Abu Dhabi. The level of quality and service is exceptionally high. Even getting a taxi was super easy, and the food was excellent. To sum it up: 100 out of 10! This isn’t just a recommendation it’s a must.

Great stay with amazing service, tasty food, and a perfect location
Had a lovely birthday stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, very clean, and the staff were all welcoming. This hotel is now my first choice in Abu Dhabi. A special thanks goes to Aditya, the staff member who handled my reservation. He was exceptionally helpful, courteous, and professional throughout my stay. His kind gesture of offering us hospitality during our check-out truly stood out and made our experience even more memorable. Tried the Alfredo pasta from the hotel restaurant, fresh and delicious. This hotel truly stands out in every way. Highly recommended.

A beautiful stay with outstanding service — especially thanks to Ramadan at the front desk
I really loved the place — it was beautiful, clean, and very relaxing. The atmosphere was luxurious yet welcoming. Special thanks to Mr. Ramadan at the front desk; he was incredibly respectful, professional, and went out of his way to upgrade my room. That gesture made my stay extra special. He also offered me a smooth and friendly late check-out with no hassle at all. Truly appreciated his kindness and top-notch service
Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with one of the spa staff. She initially told me there were no discounts available, but when I insisted, she suddenly pulled out a printed offer that she had all along and gave me the discount. It felt dishonest and left a bad impression

I have visited the Abu Dhabi edition many times, I love the hotel and I’m always excited to come back.
The voice isolation in the room, I woke up because of hearing the noise outside of my room I heard conversations I heard the staff cleaning. I heard the room next to me being opened and close like there is no voice isolation at all. My sleep was not that well.

Great hotel in Abu Dhabi by the Harbour
Fantastic hotel, modern unique decor & contemporary with a pool table in main reception lounge area, spacious room with all necessary facilities including smart home features, excellent luxury bathroom and the bed was extremely comfortable with a fantastic view overlooking the harbour! Overall staff were great, friendly and welcoming, making me feel at home, they were well trained in customer services. The private bar was cosy, classy and comfortable and breakfast was great and served until 4pm, which is great for people who dont want to rush out of their bed and need rest. I will return to this hotel for sure when I go back to Abu Dhabi as I wasn't there long enough, I was only there to rest before another long flight.
There was one issue with a member of staff by the pool bar which I was quite upset about and as a frequent traveller of high end luxury hotels globally, I had never experienced this before and I am not one to complain, however I spoke to the manager about the situation and he was very undertanding. He gave me a gift which I thought was very kind and unexpected, I just wanted him to know how I felt. Other than this hiccup, I loved this hotel and would highly recommend staying there.

Exceptional stay – warm staff and beautiful design
Our stay at The Edition Abu Dhabi was truly exceptional, thanks to the incredible people who made us feel so welcomed. From the start, my daughter and I were treated with warmth and care that went far beyond expectations. Special thanks to Aftar at the concierge for his outstanding support and kindness. The team at the Alba Terrace restaurant also deserves praise – professional, attentive, and made our meals a pleasure. The hotel itself is immaculately clean, with modern, elegant design in every detail.

In summary it is your destination if your planning a working trip to abudhabi
I like the privacy that it’s offers for the guests , the cleanliness of the rooms , the quietness , it will be your destination if you are longing for quiet place after a long working day , staff are cooperative when you are in need , the marina view and the balcony will make you feel relaxed before or after your working day . It’s a good option if you are with one of your family member where everything is around them which they can enjoy while you are away . The destination usually are near many places you want to visit during your stay . There will be near by cafe and restaurants for breakfast , dinner and lunch and coffee . However , it won’t be that near the islands if you’re planning to spend your vacation in YAS island . Special thanks to room service and bell boy “Roni” or “boni” they add to my experience .
