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.

Good
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.

Excellent stay – spotless, stylish, and fabulous rooms. Highly recommended.
The Abu Dhabi EDITION exceeded all expectations. The hotel was spotless, the service was top-notch, and the rooms were truly fabulous—modern, spacious, and beautifully designed. An excellent stay from start to finish.

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.

Beautiful hotel, good location and the staff were very friendly.
The entrance for the cars was a bit small we would wait for some time to drop the car at the valet.

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 .

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.

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.
