Marriott International (USA) Plans to Double Europe Hotels
09 Mar 2010 - Marriott International plans to more than double the number of its properties in Europe in the next few years.
If successful, that would mean 40,000 more hotel rooms on the Continent would have Marriott brand names. The company now has 174 hotels in 24 countries in Europe that operate under the Marriott, Ritz Carlton and Renaissance brands, among others.
Marriott is to announce its new target Tuesday at the Hotel Investment Forum, a conference in Berlin. The company's first hotel in Europe opened 35 years ago in Amsterdam.
