Marriott International announced the expansion of its portfolio in Mexico with plans to operate 20 new hotels across key cities by 2016. Adding approximately 800 guestrooms to the Mexican market, the first six hotels include the 124-room Los Cabos, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve; the 300-room JW Marriott Cabo San Lucas Resort; the 130-room Courtyard by Marriott Hermosillo; the 130-room Courtyard by Marriott Los Cabos; the 120-room Fairfield Inn Queretaro; the 140-room Courtyard by Marriott Queretaro; and the 160-room AC Hotel Mexico City. “With a portfolio of 23 hotels across five Marriott brands, Mexico is one of the largest, most important and dynamic international markets for our company,” said Craig S. Smith, president of the Caribbean and Latin America at Marriott. “In the past five years, we have seen a strong emerging Mexican middle class eager to travel. Economists predict that by 2020, Mexico’s economy will be among the 10 largest in the world, truly reinforcing the fact that we are living the Mexican Moment.” Marriott’s presence in the Caribbean and Latin American region includes 76 hotels in 22 countries and territories, offering more than 18,000 guestrooms and spanning nine brands.
