The Jeddah EDITION: Jeddah Corniche Red Sea palace designed by Ian Schrager with Maritime French-Asian dining, rooftop pool, and The EDITION Spa

Reigning with Ian Schrager’s signature cinematic boutique glamour and Red Sea coastal grand palace architectural nobility along the vibrant waterfront of the Jeddah Corniche in Al Shatie, Jeddah, Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia (directly adjacent to the Jeddah Yacht Club and Marina and the Jeddah Corniche Formula 1 Circuit, just 15 minutes from King Abdulaziz International Airport), The Jeddah EDITION opened in 2024 as Saudi Arabia’s premier design-led luxury lifestyle and maritime grand palace. Conceived by boutique hotel visionary Ian Schrager with architecture by world-renowned firm Yabu Pushelberg, the 63-room luxury boutique palace sits perched directly over the turquoise waters of the Red Sea. Centered around the acclaimed French-Asian dining institution Maritime by Michelin-starred Chef Cédric Vongerichten, a rooftop heated outdoor freshwater swimming pool framing the Red Sea sunset, and the palatial Forbes Five-Star EDITION Spa, this property is the Kingdom’s ultimate contemporary coastal grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Saudi coastal glamour and Red Sea Corniche historic splendour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath the sleek bronze-and-glass portico on Al Kurnaysh Road before entering the luminous double-height lobby lounge featuring monumental French limestone, signature Le Labo black tea scent, and chilled Saudi gahwa (cardamom coffee) with royal dates or fresh pomegranate spritzers with warm artisanal canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Jeddah marine, cultural, and Formula 1 pursuits: boarding private chartered luxury motor yachts directly from the adjacent Jeddah Yacht Club to explore pristine coral reefs and dive sites of the Red Sea (steps away), private guided walking tours through the UNESCO World Heritage ancient coral-stone merchant houses and spice souks of Al-Balad (20 minutes away), private VIP trackside access to the Jeddah Corniche F1 Circuit (steps away), swimming in the rooftop sky pool overlooking the Red Sea, indulging in Arabian frankincense and mineral therapies at the Forbes Five-Star EDITION Spa, sipping craft mocktails on the rooftop terrace, and reserving dinner at Maritime.

Palace living balances active Red Sea yachting with serene coastal sanctuary wellness: The EDITION Spa features 5 private luxury treatment suites, Moroccan and Turkish hammams, steam rooms, saunas, the rooftop sky pool, and therapies utilizing organic botanicals and custom Le Labo products. Dining is an extraordinary French-Asian-Arabian culinary summit: elevated coastal gastronomy at Maritime by Chef Cédric Vongerichten (celebrated for Red Sea prawns, miso sea bass, and master mocktail mixology), all-day dining at The Lobby Lounge, rooftop dining at The Roof, and 24-hour in-room royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 63 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Yabu Pushelberg in warm sand tones, bleached oak boiserie, deep freestanding soaking bathtubs, and floor-to-ceiling glass or private furnished stone terraces framing the Red Sea and yacht marina ranging from 48 to 180 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Le Labo black tea amenities.

Design purists, Ian Schrager enthusiasts, and luxury travelers seeking Jeddah Corniche location, Red Sea yachting, and Maritime dining in Saudi Arabia should book The Jeddah EDITION without hesitation.
