Marriott International Partners with Prestige Falcon Realty Ventures to Introduce Edition Hotels to South Asia

Marriott International, a leading global hospitality brand, has made an exciting announcement that will change the landscape of luxury accommodation in South Asia. The company has signed a strategic agreement with Prestige Falcon Realty Ventures to bring its upscale Edition hotels brand to the region for the first time. This expansion underscores the increasing demand for luxury hotels in key Indian cities, catering to both business and leisure travelers. With the first property set to open in Mumbai’s prestigious Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) by 2028, the partnership is poised to make a significant impact on the region's hospitality sector.

Edition Hotels is one of Marriott's most exclusive brands, renowned globally for its blend of luxury and boutique-style offerings. Conceived by famed hotelier Ian Schrager in partnership with Marriott, Edition aims to provide a unique experience that reflects the culture and ethos of each destination while offering the high-end services and modern design that discerning travelers expect. The brand currently operates properties in major cities like New York, Miami, and London, and its introduction to India is a testament to the growing appeal of luxury travel in the South Asian market.

The partnership between Marriott and Prestige Falcon Realty Ventures will bring Edition’s unparalleled hospitality to India, starting with The Mumbai Edition, slated for a 2028 opening. The 182-room hotel, which will also feature an exclusive penthouse suite, is set to be an iconic addition to Mumbai’s hospitality scene. Located in the Bandra-Kurla Complex, one of the city’s primary business hubs, The Mumbai Edition will cater to business travelers, global tourists, and local elites alike, offering a blend of style, service, and sophistication that defines the Edition brand.

Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) has become one of Mumbai’s most sought-after business districts, home to financial institutions, multinational corporations, and top-tier office spaces. Over the past few years, BKC has also emerged as a cultural and entertainment hub, with luxury residential towers, fine dining restaurants, and high-end retail stores complementing its commercial offerings. The decision to launch The Mumbai Edition in this area reflects Marriott’s strategic approach to positioning its luxury properties in locations that appeal to both business and leisure travelers.

The hotel’s location within BKC offers easy access to Mumbai’s international airport and is well-connected to other parts of the city, making it an ideal choice for global business executives and tourists. In addition, the complex’s proximity to the city’s key landmarks, including high-end shopping centers, entertainment venues, and cultural sites, will provide guests with a well-rounded experience of Mumbai.

The Mumbai Edition promises to deliver a luxury experience that goes beyond the ordinary. With 182 guest rooms and suites, including an ultra-luxurious penthouse suite, the hotel will offer unparalleled comfort, sophistication, and privacy. The interiors will showcase the signature Edition aesthetic—modern, elegant, and understated—while incorporating elements of local design to reflect Mumbai’s rich cultural heritage.

Guests can expect world-class amenities such as a rooftop terrace featuring a swimming pool, perfect for relaxing while enjoying panoramic views of the Mumbai skyline. A state-of-the-art wellness spa will provide a range of rejuvenating treatments, making it a haven for those seeking relaxation and self-care. The hotel will also feature multiple dining options, including a fine-dining restaurant led by a renowned chef, casual eateries, and a chic rooftop bar.

For business travelers, The Mumbai Edition will offer over 1,300 square meters of meeting and event space, equipped with the latest technology to facilitate corporate functions, conferences, and social gatherings. With personalized service and attention to detail, the hotel aims to create memorable experiences for all its guests, whether they are in the city for business or leisure.

The introduction of Edition Hotels to India highlights the growing demand for luxury accommodations in the country, particularly in major metropolitan areas like Mumbai. In recent years, India has witnessed a surge in high-end tourism, driven by an increase in affluent domestic travelers, as well as a rise in international tourists seeking premium experiences. Mumbai, as the financial capital of India, has been at the forefront of this growth, attracting business executives, celebrities, and tourists who require world-class hospitality services.

The signing of this agreement with Prestige Falcon Realty Ventures is just the beginning of Edition’s journey in South Asia. As luxury travel continues to grow in the region, Marriott is expected to explore further expansion opportunities for the Edition brand in other key Indian cities and neighboring countries. The success of The Mumbai Edition could pave the way for additional properties, further establishing Edition as a leading name in South Asia’s luxury hospitality sector.
