Marriott to open 1000th property in Asia Pacific this year

Friday, 09 Feb, 2022 0

Marriott International announced its plans to further expand its portfolio across Asia Pacific, as it gears up to open its 1000th property in the region.

Marriott says its select service portfolio is driving momentum for growth with brands such as Courtyard by Marriott, Fairfield by Marriott, Four Points by Sheraton, AC Hotels and Moxy Hotels.

In Greater China, the openings of select service hotels will further expand customer choice.

Four Points by Sheraton expects to continue its growth with five planned openings throughout the year, while Moxy Hotels will open in destinations such as Suzhou and Xi’an.

Craig S. Smith, Group President, International for Marriott International, said, "I am very pleased with our 2021 development results in Asia Pacific. We have worked closely with our owners throughout the last two years to navigate the challenges. Last year in Asia Pacific, we signed two new development deals a week on average, with deals signed in 13 different markets across the region.."

According to research by ILTM Asia Pacific, Greater China’s affluent population contributes to half of Asia Pacific’s total spending on airfare and lodging. Greater China remains a focus for the company’s growth, as it accounts for more than half of the company’s anticipated luxury openings in Asia Pacific in 2022.

Ritz-Carlton Reserve is expanding in Greater China later this year.

Additional expected luxury openings in 2022 include JW Marriott Hotel Changsha and W Macau – Studio City.

Outside of Greater China, the company expects to debut its AC Hotels brand in Korea with AC Hotel Seoul Gangnam and in Australia with AC Hotel Melbourne Southbank.

In Japan, Fairfield by Marriott expects to strengthen its presence with six new properties planned to open across Nara, Hokkaido and Hyogo.

With wellness and well-being remaining a continued priority for many travellers, the company’s leading wellness brand, Westin Hotels & Resorts, is expected to celebrate two new debuts in Yokohama and Cam Ranh in 2022.
