Pacific Business News of Oct. 5, 2010 reports, “Marriott, Ian Schrager open Waikiki Edition.” They report that Edition had a soft opening as of Sept. 28, with a grand opening scheduled for Oct. 15. Edition’s offerings will include Morimoto Waikiki restaurant (already open, fine dining) and upscale nightclub Crazybox.
If you are in town, take a moment to visit and tour the new Edition. It is truly delightful. What a gorgeous place.
Portions of the new Waikiki Edition Hotel, such as the bar and pool area, are now open. The Hawaii Magazine online has a preview of the new Waikiki Edition Hotel, with pictures, click on the link. If you are in town, take a moment to visit. The way they renovated it is stunning and gorgeous, no question.
For those not familiar: The Waikiki Edition Hotel is located at the site of the Yacht Harbor Tower (YHT). The YHT was developed by Chinn Ho in the 1960s as an annex to The Ilikai, as one project, and for over 40 years was an integral part of The Ilikai, with The Ilikai and YHT being one project. – Until the embattled developer Brian Anderson with his company Anekona got here and caused much destruction to the icon, landmark property. Questions remain about the legality of that sale and separation of the YHT into a separate project, based on Hawaii statutory and case law.
Also, disputes continue between The Ilikai AOAO, and also Ilikai Marina AOAO, and the Edition regarding easements, including a state easement, to pass through the new Edition from the Hobron Ln to The Ilikai and to the beach area.
