Latest rumor about that mystery AEG-funded hotel--planned for right across the street from LA Live--comes courtesy of Karen Englund, director of sales and marketing for Marriott at LA Live: She tells us that the new hotel will likely either be a Hard Rock (as noted before) or an Ian Schrager hotel. It's not clear what type of Schrager hotel it would be, but this is worth pointing out: In 2008, the Ian Schrager and Marriott partnership began marketing their “Edition brand,” and the Los Angeles Times reported that an Edition hotel was at one point planned for downtown. Who knows what's coming and AEG didn't respond to requests for comment. Meanwhile, Marriott is expected to open for business February 15th, with a big party to follow in March. [Curbed Staff]
