BETHESDA, Maryland — Marriott International recently converted three iconic luxury properties in the U.S. to brands within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. Located in some of the most sought-after destinations in the country, The Resort at Pelican Hill, Turtle Bay Resort and a luxury Midtown hotel in New York City all joined Marriott Bonvoy’s luxury brands this summer.
Over the past three months, Marriott International has finalized deals for conversions of “three incredible properties, adding over 1,000 rooms to our system and continuing to underscore our commitment to luxury,” said Leeny Oberg, chief financial officer and executive vice president, development, Marriott International. “We are sought out by owners because of the depth and breadth of our brand portfolio and the power of our platform to drive results. Today, the company has an industry-leading global luxury distribution of over 510 open hotels with another 234 luxury hotels in the signed pipeline. We look forward to strengthening our leadership in this important customer segment as we continue to work with owners to maximize the potential of their projects.”
Turtle Bay Resort, located on the North Shore of O’ahu, Hawai’i, also joined The Ritz-Carlton brand portfolio this summer. The resort showcases the natural beauty of the island with oceanfront bungalows, lavish suites and ocean-view rooms. Turtle Bay’s event spaces include over 22,000 square feet of indoor space and 230,000 square feet of outdoor event space. The wide-open conference spaces and versatile meeting rooms are filled with warm, natural light. The resort’s outdoor pavilions will give your group a chance to breathe fresh island air while they enjoy the North Shore of Oʻahu, surrounded by natural wonders. With seven secluded beaches within walking distance, 12 miles of hiking and biking trails and an array of onsite amenities, the property provides guests with unforgettable experiences. Host Hotels and Resorts recently closed on the purchase of the property, and Marriott has assumed management of the resort.
The Resort at Pelican Hill is a five-star luxury property located in Newport Beach, California, and joined Marriott’s luxury portfolio in July. The 504-acre resort sits on the coast of Newport Beach and includes the Pelican Hill Golf Club, featuring two 18-hole golf courses with 270-degree ocean views. The resort is home to over 23,000 square feet of indoor & outdoor function space, including panoramic ocean-view event lawns and terraces, two expansive ballrooms with warm residential touches. The Irvine Co. will continue to own the property, with Marriott managing, and it is expected to be converted to a St. Regis at a later date.
The 54-floor Conrad New York Midtown in Manhattan joined Marriott’s Luxury Collection in June and is now known as The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown. The addition marked The Luxury Collection’s return to New York City.
“Strengthening and growing our luxury pipeline is a top priority for the company, and I’m proud that Marriott remains the clear industry leader in the segment,” said Dana Jacobsohn, Chief Development Officer, U.S. Luxury Brands and Global Mixed-Use. “We look forward to working closely with our owners and franchisees to provide best-in-class service and experiences to guests from around the world seeking out these incredible destinations.”
With a portfolio of seven dynamic luxury brands, Marriott currently has over 510 open luxury hotels and resorts in 70 countries and territories. Luxury properties currently account for around 10 percent of both Marriott’s open rooms and pipeline rooms.
