Marriott International has announced the expansion of its luxury segment within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio through the conversion of three iconic U.S. properties: The Resort at Pelican Hill in California, Turtle Bay Resort in Hawai’i, and a prestigious hotel in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. These additions, expected to join this summer, highlight Marriott's dedication to luxury and the addition of more than 1,000 rooms to its inventory. Marriott International's CFO and EVP of Development, Leeny Oberg, emphasized the company's industry-leading worldwide luxury distribution, with over 510 properties now operating and 234 more in the works.
The planned conversions span from Manhattan to Hawai’i, with each property offering unique luxury experiences. The New York hotel reintroduced The Luxury Collection to New York City on June 5, 2024, while The Resort at Pelican Hill is set to join Marriott’s portfolio on July 1, 2024, as a St. Regis-managed property owned by The Irvine Company. Turtle Bay Resort will become part of The Ritz-Carlton brand later in the summer. Dana Jacobsohn, Chief Development Officer for U.S. Luxury Brands & Global Mixed-Use at Marriott, emphasized the company’s focus on strengthening its luxury pipeline and providing exceptional service to guests seeking out these sought-after destinations.
