Marriott’s project development strategy in Europe embraces bold, design‑driven projects—ranging from creative transformations of historic buildings to striking new hotel builds—strengthening the brand’s footprint in both major cities and up‑and‑coming leisure destinations.
Marriott Kotor – Montenegro
Set to open in 2027, the future Marriott Kotor is one of the more intriguing new hotel buildings currently underway in Southeastern Europe.

The 120-room hotel will include a conference room, spa center, restaurant, and bar.
The Shelbourne, Autograph Collection – Dublin, Ireland
This iconic property is undergoing a full refurbishment as part of Marriott’s ongoing hotel renovation projects in Europe. When complete, The Shelbourne will maintain its legacy as a symbol of classic luxury in Dublin, but with a fresh layer of personality—and 265 rooms! Bryan O’Sullivan Studio is leading the interior redesign, making sure to include elegant historical references with playful, modern touches.
Across North and South America, Marriott is expanding its footprint with developments that celebrate local culture, smart design, and eco‑friendly amenities. From vibrant city centers to distinctive resort destinations, the brand continues to evolve its presence across the region.

Marriott's pipeline in the Asia-Pacific region reflects the growing demand for high-end hospitality in both established and fast-developing markets. These new hotel buildings are often designed to offer standout architectural features, strong ties to local culture, and future-forward guest experiences.

With 260 rooms and an expected opening in 2026, this Aloft property is nearing completion. As of mid-2025, most of the construction was already finished, marking it as one of Marriott’s more advanced new hotel buildings in southern China’s tech-driven Zhuhai district.
From reimagined landmarks to bold new builds, Marriott’s global development strategy is more than growth— it’s about creating memorable stays for guests and opportunities for local partners. With projects rising across continents, the brand continues to redefine the guest experience, creating fresh opportunities for the hotel suppliers who help bring each property to life. After all, when Marriott checks in somewhere new, so do the designers, builders, and makers who keep its world turning.
