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.

Lovely hotel with lovely balcony views. Great food. Amazing staff!
A lovely stay with the family for a 2-night break. The hotel staff were all amazing, the rooms were lovely, and they had lovely plant based options for us - the chef even prepared a special vegan option for us one evening for dinner. We will definitely be back!
It was hard to get an alcoholic drink during the day, with children in tow, but they let us sit in the restaurant to have a cocktail one afternoon!

There are many advantages, the disadvantages are easily fixable,I recommend this hotel to my friends
I liked the design of the hotel, I liked the friendly staff who are ready to answer any of your questions, I liked the cleanliness, neatness, aroma, and quality of everything from service to equipment and various accessories. Overall, I am very pleased, and I am sure I will continue to use the services of this hotel, because it seems to me that this place, despite its high level, will strive for excellence.
Despite my liking for this hotel, I would like to mention a point that caused me some discomfort: the water in the bathtub, in the kitchen and bathroom sinks took a very long time to leave. And the second point: the dishes were unclean after washing by the staff.

Amazing Marina view - 60m2 suites with comfy bed - luxurious bath/shower -
We did stay 7 nights into the Deluxe King Room with Balcony (and Marina View). Enough time to experience in full the hotel facilities: swimming pools, gym, lounges, restaurants and bars. It’s all brand new and state of the art equipments, perfectly maintained and clean. The location is amazing, central to most main activities Abu Dhabi has to offer. The staff is extremely welcoming, customer focused, 100% English speaking, and discrete.

So perfect
Honestly the staff could not be more friendly, it is so heartwarming how kind they are. The breakfast is à la carte, really high quality and delicious. The room was spacious, and I have to say that they had the comfiest mattress I’ve ever slept in.

Nothing, it was excellent

Almost perfect
The service is amazing, they are quick and have almost everything you can ask for. The location is great with some nice restaurants and walkable areas around. The hotel looks gorgeous and rooms are well equipped. The food quality is always excellent and coffee is great. Gym is nice and pool good as well, not that big though it's not a resort keep in mind.
The Residences part isn't as good as the hotel, it looks less refined. The two bedroom apartment is good but a bit different from the pictures, the twin room has standard beds (not queen), and the bathroom for the twin is ridiculously small. Thankfully, there's a third bathroom but only with toilets and a sink. However, the master bedroom has a king-size bed and a big bathroom, which is perfect. The apartment has a nice size and a useful kitchen. For the breakfast, the service is a la carte and on the slow side. The waiters are super friendly, but I think there's not enough staff in the kitchen considering the slow pace. Sometimes, you can wait up to 15-20 min just for toasts, and even coffees come slowly. The food has an amazing taste, but definitely don't try to take your breakfast there if you're in a hurry. You can still take pastries from the small buffet, as well as some juices and fruits.

Excellent service and views, but pricey with overly minimal rooms
Great staff, very clean, and impressive views, especially from higher floors. Service was smooth and professional, making the stay enjoyable.
Too expensive for what it offers. Room design felt overly minimal—less inviting than other Editions like Shanghai.

Fabulous
I loved the design , stuff was also nice and helpful. Breakfast is tasty, by menu, but wide variety of food. Bar downstairs was also great

Great hotel in centre of Abu dhabi
Brilliant all day breakfast. Staff lovely. Rooms super comfortable and well appointed.
Check in slow as not enough space/staff for such a big hotel. We couldn’t get into our room until 5 even though it was a 3pm check in.

Well worth a visit especially if not staying for long
Nice aesthetic, nice details, and smells great too
Slightly on the pricier side

Not to be missed
Excellent experience. Staff are super friendly and proactive. Rushu left a medicine organizer when he saw we had many different meds. And we got a lovely complimentary anniversary cake! Hotel smelled lovely. Love the Le Labo products. Also a delicious selection if complimentary sweets for the Chinese New Year.
Slight delay when checking out in waiting for the concierge to take our luggage but perhaps a busy day

The best Edition I have been to so far
Best hotel for city activities and business. Love the design, the location, personnel, concept and service.
The pastry at breakfast is less tasty than it looks.

Really memorable!
The staff was incredible, they were so friendly and greeted us by name every time we interacted with them. The steakhouse was fabulous and the service even better.
I wish I had stayed longer than one night

The minimal serene interior, separate you from the city in the best of ways. The room is well designed and spacious. And last but not least the very friendly and helpful staff, they make you feel at home.
