Marriott Interna-tional’s signature brand, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, last week said has a global pipeline of nearly 50 new hotels and resorts which will open in the next four years, representing a multi-billion dollar investment in the brand by owners and franchisees worldwide.
With more than 500 hotels and 180,000 rooms currently open in 54 countries, Marriott Hotels & Resorts is the company’s most widely distributed brand, with a concentration of hotels in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Europe, China and Mexico.
Hotels under development will be mostly in emerging business and leisure destinations, with 24 hotels in the Asia Pacific region, 9 in the Middle East/Africa, 4 in Europe and 12 in the Americas.
Paul Cahill, senior vice president, brand management for Marriott Hotels & Resorts, said, “Look for our hotels and resorts in many emerging business and leisure destinations, such as Jaipur, Cartagena, Algiers, Marrakech, Accra (Ghana), Kigali (Rwanda) and Vietnam.”
The brand is also featuring new designs to its lobbies, restaurants, fitness facilities and guest rooms.
The most remarkable new amenity is the new, reinvented Marriott Hotels & Resorts lobby. The social centre of every hotel, this versatile, multi-purpose space allows guests to meet friends and colleagues, grab a bite to eat, plug in their devices and work either in small groups or alone but still be close to the action – any time of the day or night.
