Marriott has signed franchise agreements that
will add three more hotels to its lodging portfolio in Europe. The
hotels are the:
• 87-room Renaissance Lucerne Hotel, Switzerland
(2011) • 139-room Renaissance Aix-en-Provence Hotel, France
(2012) • 113-room Renaissance Paris Saint-Cloud Hotel, France
(2013)
Earlier this year, Marriott announced its
plans to double its presence in Europe by 2015. These three
additions to the development pipeline in Europe bring the total
number of hotels currently in development throughout Europe to 27.
“We are thrilled to announce these three new
Renaissance Hotels as we continue toward achieving our growth
goals in Europe,” said Amy McPherson, president and managing
director of Marriott International in Europe. “Renaissance Hotels
area all about discovery and offering our guests unique
experiences. As we continue to expand throughout Europe, I am
excited for us to add distinctive hotels like these, which embody
everything Renaissance is about, to new destinations for us such
as Aix-en-Provence and Lucerne.”
The 87-room Renaissance
Lucerne Hotel will open in 2011 under a franchise agreement
with Hotel Schiller Betriebe AG. The hotel, formerly the Hotel
Schiller, dates back to 1909 and is located along the Pilatus
strasse in one of the most desirable shopping areas of Lucerne.
Boasting high style and contemporary design, the hotel will be
Marriott’s first in the picturesque city of Lucerne which is
located less than one hour from Zurich Airport and sits on the
shore of Lake Lucerne with stunning views of Mount Pilatus and
Rigi in the Swiss Alps.
Opening in 2012, the 139-room
Renaissance Aix-en-Provence Hotel
will be located in this small classically provencal city in
southern France known for its wrought iron bell towers, beautiful
paved plazas and average 300 annual days of sunshine. The new
hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with ARTHOTEL
Aix-en-Provence SAS.
Located 30 km north of Marseille,
Aix-en-Provence is often referred to as the city of a thousand
fountains, among the most notable the 17th century Fontaine des
Quatre Dauphins. The newly built property will be located in the
heart of the city center, a stone’s throw from the Grand Theatre
de Provence. The hotel will boast two restaurants, a destination
bar, and outdoor pool.
When opened, the boutique 113-room
Renaissance Paris Saint-Cloud Hotel
will be the fifth Renaissance property in Paris. Opening in 2013
under a franchise agreement with Paris Country Club SA in
Saint-Cloud, France, the hotel will be located adjacent to the
elegant Paris Country Club, offering guests a unique opportunity
to experience the many amenities of the club, including its golf
course and tennis courts.
Located just 15 minutes from Paris Porte Maillot
(Congress Center), the newly built hotel will boast the same
design as the Paris Country Club with its country manor style and
half-timbered façade. The hotel will offer two restaurants, a bar,
743 square meters of meeting space, and a luxurious outdoor pool
and spa.
