Marriott Expands Bonvoy Portfolio with Three New Luxury Conversions

Marriott International, Inc. has unveiled plans to transform three iconic U.S. luxury properties into brands within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. The Resort at Pelican Hill, Turtle Bay Resort, and a luxury Midtown hotel in New York City will join Marriott Bonvoy’s luxury brands this summer.

“In the last few weeks, we 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.”

The three planned luxury conversions, spanning from Manhattan to Hawai’i, include:

Midtown Manhattan, New York: The luxury hotel in New York City is expected to join the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio on June 5. Located in the heart of Midtown, this property is close to top attractions such as Central Park, Times Square, The Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue shopping, and Radio City Music Hall. This addition will mark The Luxury Collection’s return to New York City.

The Resort at Pelican Hill, Newport Beach, California: This five-star luxury property is slated to join Marriott’s luxury portfolio on July 1. The 504-acre resort features the Pelican Hill Golf Club, with two 18-hole courses offering 270-degree ocean views. The Irvine Company will retain ownership while Marriott manages the property, which is expected to convert to a St. Regis at a later date.

Turtle Bay Resort, North Shore of O’ahu, Hawai’i: Anticipated to join The Ritz-Carlton brand portfolio later this summer, this sought-after hideaway offers oceanfront bungalows, lavish suites, and ocean view rooms. With seven secluded beaches, 12 miles of hiking and biking trails, and incredible onsite amenities, the resort provides guests with unforgettable experiences. Host Hotels & Resorts’ purchase of the property, along with Marriott’s assumption of management, is expected to occur later this summer.
