Marriott International has acquired the historic Berners Hotel in London with plans to redevelop it as London Edition. Ian Schrager will work with Marriott to renovate the 1835 building, maintaining original architectural features such as such as ornate ceilings and a marble-clad reception area. “I am thrilled to be returning to London for an incredibly special and historical building like Berners Hotel,” Schrager says. “I am excited and passionate about creating an authentic and original experience for this special EDITION hotel in this gateway city.”
