Marriott International and Hawkins Way Capital have announced signed agreements to convert five properties to the Series by Marriott brand, the company’s newest collection.

The five urban and coastal properties in Miami, Santa Monica, San Francisco, Chicago and San Diego currently operating under the FOUND Hotels brand are expected to join the Series by Marriott portfolio over the course of the next year.

“The launch of Series by Marriott in the United States is an exciting milestone, marking a bold new chapter for both the brand and Marriott, as we continue expanding our offerings to meet the evolving interests of our owners, franchisees and guests,” said Noah Silverman, Marriott International Global Development Officer, U.S. & Canada.

He added, “Reflective of a growing demand for upscale collection brands, Series by Marriott is designed to offer regional owners a conversion opportunity that provides access to global revenue and demand generation platforms, while preserving each hotel’s unique brand identity and delivering an authentic guest experience.”

Ross Walker, Managing Partner, Hawkins Way Capital said in a statement, “Our collaboration with Marriott is an exciting catalyst for Hawkins Way Capital and its FCL Management affiliate as we bolster our hospitality platform nationwide. By aligning FOUND Hotels with Series by Marriott, we’re preserving the brand’s unique identity while leveraging Marriott’s global reach and valued loyalty system."

"Together, we’re fostering a model for approachable, local, lifestyle hotels that meet the needs of today’s traveler in the country's most sought-after areas," Walker continued.
