Marriott International has signed its 250th hotel in Asia – the Renaissance Bo’ao Resort & Spa in China.
The new deal means US-based Marriott now has 129 open hotels plus a development pipeline of 121 projects, totaling more than 75,000 rooms across 15 countries.
“We are delighted to have reached 250 hotels in Asia and are looking forward to continued growth in the region,” said Simon Cooper, Marriott’s President & Managing Director for Asia Pacific. “We are seeing growth across all countries in Asia and in the past few weeks have signed landmark hotels in key locations, including Macau, Vietnam and India. We continue to see excellent growth in China where we now have more than 100 open and signed hotels, and expect to open on average one hotel a month in the country for at least the next three years.”
In China, Marriott plans to double its current portfolio of 58 open hotels in the next three to four years.
“We see this as a golden age of travel around the world, and our Marriott hotels will be there to welcome all travelers, domestic and international,” said Cooper. “In the process, we are opening doors to a world of opportunity for our guests and associates alike, by offering great careers to our associates in China and across Asia, while delivering rewarding guest experiences across our growing brand portfolio.”
