BETHESDA, Md. — Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of longer-stay brands—Element Hotels, Residence Inn by Marriott, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott—announced a selection of new openings.
“We continue to see strong demand for our longer-stay hotels from both business and leisure travelers,” said Tina Edmundson, global brand and marketing officer, Marriott International. “From the innovative Studio Commons offering at Element Hotels to comfortable one-bedroom suites at Residence Inn and TownePlace Suites, Marriott Bonvoy offers a breadth of brands with options that offer extra space to travel and live well. We are delighted to introduce a bevy of new properties that will provide the ultimate residential comfort to create a home away from home.”
Combined, there are nearly 1,400 Element Hotels, Residence Inn, and TownePlace Suites locations globally. Marriott’s longer-stay properties account for nearly 30 percent of the global extended-stay supply, with a signed pipeline of 575 additional properties. According to a recent report published by Lodging Econometrics, extended-stay properties make up more than a quarter of the total U.S. development pipeline, signaling continued demand from hotel owners as well as travelers.
All three of Marriott’s longer-stay brands provide guests complimentary access to business centers and fitness facilities. Pets are welcomed, based on weight and for an additional fee.
