Marriott International announced plans to convert three iconic luxury properties in the United States to brands within the hotel and resort company’s portfolio.

Located in some of America’s most sought-after destinations in the country, The Resort at Pelican Hill, Turtle Bay Resort, and a luxury Midtown hotel in New York City are all expected to join Marriott Bonvoy's luxury brands this summer.

“In the last few weeks, we finalized deals for conversions of three incredible properties, adding over 1,000 rooms to our system and continuing to underscore our commitment to luxury,” Marriott Executive Vice President Leeny Oberg said. “We are sought out by owners because of the depth and breadth of our brand portfolio and the power of our platform to drive results.”

The Resort at Pelican Hill is a five-star luxury property in Newport Beach, California, and is expected to join Marriott's luxury portfolio on July 1. The 504-acre resort sits on the coast of Newport Beach and includes the Pelican Hill Golf Club, featuring two 18-hole golf courses with 270-degree ocean views. 

Turtle Bay Resort, located on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, is anticipated to join The Ritz-Carlton brand portfolio later this summer. The resort embodies the island’s natural beauty and has oceanfront bungalows, lavish suites, and ocean-view rooms. With seven secluded beaches within walking distance, 12 miles of hiking and biking trails, and incredible onsite amenities, the property provides guests with unforgettable experiences. 

“Today, the company has an industry-leading global luxury distribution of over 510 open hotels with another 234 luxury hotels in the signed pipeline,” Oberg continued. “We look forward to strengthening our leadership in this important customer segment as we continue to work with owners to maximize the potential of their projects.”

A luxury hotel in New York, New York, is also expected to join the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio on June 5. This property is in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, close to top attractions, including Central Park, Times Square, The Museum of Modern Art, Rockefeller Center, the shops on Fifth Avenue, and Radio City Music Hall. This exciting addition will mark The Luxury Collection’s return to New York City.
