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.

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.

Beautiful hotel in Abu Dhabi
The room was beautifully appointed, very quiet and very comfortable. It had a great view as well. Loved the Le Labo products in the bathroom. A very positive experience overall. Just sad we could only stay one night.

The kind & supporting staff made my stay so lovely!
Clean & comfortable.. felt like home. The staff of the hotel were great.. from the Duty manager Mr Osama, to his assistant Mr Ramadan.. to the front desk staff, room service team, technical support team, concierge staff and off course the house keeping supervisor and staff members.. all were great and very kind to me. They were highly responsive to all and any requests! They were really helpful and very friendly!
-The doors of guest rooms weren’t soundproof.. it was mostly unpleasant because I could hear even the slightest noise of people passing outside my room and it was worse because I was in a suite with a connecting door to the next suite, so even when both connecting doors of both suite were closed.. I still can hear very clearly the next door guest talking! and I had to complain several times about the very loud noise coming from the kids of the next suite guests. -The in-room dining menu was very limited, I wish they would have more options especially for light meals and snacks, besides some of the items were really expensive although they were just average popular dishes!
