More News About "Waikiki Edition Hotel" at Ilikai Properties
According to "Hotel Chatter" Blogsite at www.Concierge.com, "Last month, we reported that the Waikiki Edition, the first hotel sprung from the loins, er minds of hotelier greats Bill Marriott and Ian Schrager, would open not in July as we had first hoped but in October instead. This was a bummer of course, but we kept ourselves happy by thinking of the complimentary WiFi that would be available for all guests when the hotel did open.
However, in checking on the hotel today we see that the website* now says Opening in September. Backing up this opening date, is a recent Honolulu Star article about Chef Masaharu Morimoto and his preparations for his restaurant inside the hotel. The Star says the hotel could open in either August or September. We nearly jumped out of our seats. Why, August is just a few weeks away!
However, we know better than to get our hopes up over a hotel opening. When we tried to make a reservation for September, no dates worked, leading us to believe an October opening is still the month Edition is going to first appear. As always, we'll be keeping tabs of specifically what day the hotel will open and how you can make a reservation.
In other Edition Hotels news, the Edition Hotels website says Istanbul and Bangkok are coming soon (which we already knew about) but up next is now Mexico City (which we had heard rumors about) and Barcelona. Ole!"
Both the Ilikai Apartments Condo Building and the Ilikai Marina Condo Building will benefit greatly with the addition of the New Edition.

I missed this announcement. I own a time share at the Ilikai- great news that it is being improved- really needs it. So much history at the Ilikai.
......and now they are filming "Hawaii Five-O" right in the same spot at the Ilikai as 30-40 years ago. Book 'em Dano!
