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.

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.

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.

Great hotel, Great Staff, we would stay here again...
Hotel was great, staff was very good, food and overall experience was great. We had a few small maint issues in the room and the staff corrected those issues within minutes. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The room was big and very nice, they cleaned and serviced the room multiple times per day.
Nothing not to like. Maybe the only downside is if you stay in the second building you have to go across to the main building for all of the food and many of the service, however honestly this was really not a big issue for us.

One of the great hotels in AD
I loved the ambiance, the billiards in the lobby. The gym was good. I also loved the hotel's location as it is near good cafes and restaurants. The staff were friendly. And yes the coffee was WOW which we had after breakfast.
