After working out that in 2017 alone they used over 500,000 plastic straws, which, when lined up, could encircle Central Park in New York ten times (!), the team behind the London EDITION hotel decided it was time to make changes. A huge announcement was made in April of last year: that EDITION was to go single-use plastic free in 2019 across all of its hotels – that’s London, New York, Miami and Sanya. The man heading this up is Ben Pundole, the Vice President of Brand Experience, who took inspiration from Blue Planet II and David Attenborough’s plea to end plastic pollution.
Perched in Fitzrovia on the edge of Soho, the London EDITION offers the perfect combination of elegant heritage and suave modernity. This is an Ian Schrager hotel, so expect to see a lot of unique design features with light and mirrors playing cat-and-mouse throughout. The Georgian facade gives way to a grand marble lobby, complete with mahogany bar and velvet chaise longues, perfect for reclining on with a dirty martini expertly blended by the in-house mixologists.
