Edition, the luxury-lifestyle brand co-founded by Marriott
International and boutique hotel progenitor Ian Schrager, will enter Japan with
two Tokyo hotels.
The Tokyo Edition Ginza, breaking ground next year, will be
a freestanding 13-story building with 80 guestrooms on Chuo Street in the
city’s Ginza district. The hotel is slated to open in March 2020.
Also in 2020, the Tokyo Edition Toranomon is expected to
debut. The hotel will be part of a redevelopment of the former Pastoral
building. The project also includes a medical center, offices and residences.
Marriott's real estate partner in Japan, Mori Trust Co., will
own both hotels.
Marriott oversees Edition properties in New York, Miami,
London and Sanya, China, with others under development in Abu Dhabi, Shanghai,
Bali and West Hollywood, Calif.
