AAR is a hotel booking website that specializes in allowing both disabled and non-disabled customers to search globally for all available room types including fully accessible rooms. The site is the first to incorporate a free online access rating scheme, the Global Access Award Scheme, which provides information on accessible rooms and hotels.

The brand will replace the JW Marriott brand at a planned project in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The condominium-hotel development is the brainchild of Venezuela-based Desarrollos Hotelco, which recently opened the Ritz-Carlton Aruba last year.

The Guayaquil Marriott will be the company’s third property in Ecuador and is being developed by Hotecapsa, overseen by Mr. Angel P. Sanchez. Mr. Sanchez is a major local developer in Guayaquil.
