After launching in 2010, Marriott’s Autograph Collection hotel brand has become one the fastest growing in the industry with more than 100 hotels built in six years. The one-of-a-kind portfolio added five distinct properties in 2016 alone in Europe, the UAE, the United States and the Bahamas.

Roomers Baden-Baden, the city’s first luxury lifestyle hotel, was inspired by the aesthetic of the Bavarian spa town. The hotel offers 130 guestrooms and suites, a gourmet Pan-Asian restaurant and a 5,382-square-foot spa in keeping with the holistic nature of the town.

Historic site of Watermark Baton Rouge

The Watermark Baton Rouge, located in the former Louisiana Trust and Savings Bank built in 1925, offers distinctive design features, rare artwork, original marble stairways and an original bank vault that functions as a ballroom. The hotel’s classic industrial features highlight the timeless structure of the building.

The French Leave Resort pool

The French Leave Resort on Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas offers a secluded escape on the turquoise waters of Governors Harbour. The resort features traditional Bahamian architecture and was designed with minimal environmental impact to preserve the unspoiled beauty of the destination.

The Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, a historic landmark, underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation to modernize and revitalize the property while maintaining its traditional elegance and history. The scope of the renovation includes a complete refurbishment of all guestrooms, public spaces and meeting spaces, the addition of a new 19th-floor ballroom, construction of a rooftop pool and bar, introduction of a new luxury spa and fitness center and a refreshment of the acclaimed French Room Restaurant.

La Ville Hotel & Suites CITY WALK in Dubai is a new lifestyle hotel and boutique experience found in the heart of CITY WALK. The hotel offers a relaxed vibe with urban and sophisticated furnishings and artistic accents. The hotel’s GRAZE restaurant offers a locally sourced fine dining experience, and LookUp allows guests to sip cocktails at an elegant rooftop bar complete with an infinity pool and views of the Burj Khalifa.

“We are thrilled to add these five exceptional properties to our growing global portfolio that celebrates individuality,” said Julius Robinson, vice president and global lead, Autograph Collection Hotels. “The diversity of our expanded hotel collection provides guests with the most compelling range of travel experiences in the world.”
