Marriott goes large in Asia with 13 properties set to open in 2019 across the JW Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, St Regis, and Luxury Collection brands
Marriott International’s current portfolio of 130 luxury hotels across ten countries and territories in Asia Pacific is poised to grow in 2019 with 13 new openings from JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, and The Luxury Collection.
"Asia Pacific's luxury travel industry is one of the fastest-growing in the world, driven by markets like China and India," said Marriott International's Peggy Fang Roe.
"Global luxury travellers today are seeking more than just the opportunity to indulge, they want experiences that deliver personal meaning and significance," she continued. "In response, Marriott International continues to grow its footprint and experiential offerings in the Asia Pacific region, providing highly contextualised and carefully curated experiences, allowing luxury travellers to explore their passions.”
Ritz-Carlton has four anticipated openings. The Ritz-Carlton, Perth, which is expected to open in October, will mark the brand’s return to Australia. The brand is also slated to open in key markets in China and India with the opening of The Ritz-Carlton, Xi’an in June, The Ritz-Carlton, Nanjing in October and The Ritz-Carlton, Pune in September.
W Marriott continues its expansion by adding five new properties, including the newly opened JW Marriott Hotel Qufu and soon-to-open JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Shanghai Pudong in July.
The Pudong property will be the first JW Marriott Marquis in Asia, and the third globally. The brand expects to also debut in the Maldives in August.
The Luxury Collection continues to make its mark, with the debut of IRAPH SUI, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Okinawa, in January 2019 and two anticipated hotels in Nanning, China and Kolkata, India. St Regis also debuted The St Regis Hong Kong in April 2019.
Designed by the award-winning André Fu, the brand’s elegance is brought to life in a modern way through silhouettes representative of the city’s architectural and cultural diversity.
