Edition Hotels' Website Launches, Schrager's Ego Gets Bigger

September 16, 2008 at 3:54 PM | 1 Comment

We at HotelChatter are utter hotel geeks. That's why we often type in domain names for new hotels and hotel brands, cross our fingers and hope that maybe just maybe, a new website will appear.

Today we hit jackpot!

Edition Hotels, the new hotel brand being created by Ian Schrager and Marriott, finally launched a teaser website. While its a little light on the content and pictures - it gives all of the proposed initial Edition Hotels locations.

You ready for this? Take a deep breath...You will need it.

We have, in no particular opening order:

Chicago, Paris, Costa Rica, New York City, Madrid, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Scottsdale, Miami, Rome, Barcelona, London, Moscow, Milan, Berlin, Sydney, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Playa del Carmen, Mexico City, San Diego, Las Vegas, Aspen, Denver, San Francisco, Boston, Atlanta, Toronto.

That's 31 cities in case you lost count.

The website's main purpose at this time seems to be giving praise to and kissing Schrager's ass. Even Bill Marriott gets into it and is quoted as proclaiming Ian as the "category's most influential entrepreneur." Which, you know, is probably true.

However, we were hoping that the site would be a little lighter on the compliments to Ian and heavier on what the hotels will look like.

No pictures or renderings or even a time frame of when the first hotels will start opening, but in the past we've heard 2010 in either Miami, Chicago or Washington DC. We will keep an eye out for the latest deets on those locations.
