Speaking on the design, Schrager said: “It’s about an attitude, about a feeling rather than a look. Sophisticated public spaces, finishes, design and details serve the experience, not drive it.”

The five-storey lobby features a curved atrium with “a sinuously shaped” balustrade, mimicking the movement of the water.

The lobby is designed to blur the lines between work and play as it features group meeting tables, a signature golden Edition pool table, a bar and a barista station.

The hotel also features a traditional English oak panelled restaurant Oak Room; Library Bar, a craft gin-led cocktail bar blended with Edition classics; a coastal Mediterranean-style restaurant Alba Terrace; Edition Spa; a grand ballroom measuring 654m2 with seating capacity for 450 guests.
