Marriott International’s Courtyard by Marriott brand expects to further grow its European footprint of 63 hotels by almost 50 pct over the next two years. Nearly 30 hotels are anticipated to open in Europe by the end of 2020, including four in Southeast Europe (SEE).
The brand will make its debut in numerous markets over the next two years, including Romania (Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest Floreasca), Croatia (Split), Macedonia (Skopje), as well as Armenia (Yerevan), Finland (Tampere), Iceland (Keflavik), and Georgia (Batumi).
John Licence, Vice President of Premium and Select Brands at Marriott International, Europe, said: “The accelerated growth of the brand is largely driven by franchise partners who recognise Courtyard as a dependable and proven product that offers quick entry to market, access to world-class global sales platforms and the backing of Marriott International’s industry leading loyalty programmes.”
Courtyard by Marriott has been a leader in the select service category for over 30 years and today welcomes travellers in more than 1,100 locations in over 50 countries and territories around the world.
