Hainan Island in China, will soon welcome guests to The Sanya Edition come December. The hotel offers a ‘private ocean’ view of the South China Sea and will be the first of Ian Schrager Edition hotels to open in China.

The resort’s concept is a hotel that blends traditional values and contemporary luxury, all while catering various age groups and guest needs. It has 512 guest rooms, each designed to make guests feel like they’re inside their own holiday home.

Thought of as a lifestyle resort for every guest, The Sanya Edition will offer the finest cosmopolitan facilities, from curated art shops to a rooftop bar. Young children will also enjoy their stay at the hotel, with dedicated play areas and toddlers’ swimming facilities.

“The Sanya Edition was conceived for the China of today and the China of tomorrow,” said Schrager. “The resort is a unique sophisticated vision and embodiment of a cosmopolitan China for all the world to see.”

A collaboration between Schrager and Marriott Hotels, the Edition portfolio of hotels is designed to reflect the latest trends in next-generation premium travel before they become trends.
