Marriott International continues to innovate, redefining luxury travel with a worldly perspective and an unequalled portfolio of premium brands.

More than 200 luxury properties are in the works for Marriott International, which already boasts an unrivaled presence of approximately 500 high-end hotels and resorts in 68 countries and regions across the globe.

Over 35 new hotels are set to debut in 2023 in both established and up-and-coming locations, ranging from Kenya and Singapore to Japan and Mexico.

The rebirth of luxury

According to research analyzing the effect on guests' most important values and goals, performed in partnership with creative agency Team One, the globe has seen a major cultural upheaval in the previous few years.

Tina Edmundson, Global Brand and Marketing Officer at Marriott International explained:

“We are looking to the great re-imaginers, people who perceive crises as moments of opportunity to rethink their lives and reimagine the world around them. Our collective mindset has changed from viewing travel as a luxury commodity to an activity vital to overall well-being.

“More than ever before, our guests are prioritizing more meaningful travel and time spent with loved ones, looking for experiences that reflect their personal values and enhance their overall quality of life.”

Chris Gabaldon, Senior Vice President, of Luxury Brands, at Marriott International, added:

“Whether it’s a focus on nurturing closer relationships, a desire to be more present, or finding ways to make a positive impact, across our luxury brands we are evolving to allow our guests to focus on what they believe matters most.

“As we grow our portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts in some of the most iconic and compelling destinations globally, our expanding footprint allows us to offer the transformative experiences that lead to a renewed sense of purpose and enhanced mental and physical well-being for the modern luxury traveler.”

The Ritz-Carlton is seeking global expansion through its commitment to innovation

The Ritz-Carlton, a leader in the hospitality industry, is expanding its portfolio in some of the planet's most fascinating locales while maintaining its reputation for cutting-edge design and impeccable service.

With the premiere of Evrima, the first yacht from The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, and openings in New York City's NoMad area and Amman, 2022 was a golden year for the renowned brand.

Two new Ritz-Carlton hotels are scheduled to debut in North America in the next year, with The Ritz-Carlton, Portland marking the chain's first foray into the Pacific Northwest and The Ritz-Carlton Paradise Valley, The Palmeraie located in Scottsdale, Arizona. Also in 2023, The Ritz-Carlton, Melbourne will expand the brand's presence on the Australian continent, while The Ritz-Carlton, Fukuoka, in Japan will enter into the market.

As part of its elite network, Ritz-Carlton Reserve plans to open two new properties in 2023: Rissai Valley in the ancient Chinese valley of Jiuzhaigou, and Nujuma, on the West Coast of Saudi Arabia.

St. Regis Honors Its Pioneering Spirit by opening a number of tempting new locations

St. Regis has become an international symbol of luxury by building hotels in some of the world's most desirable locations, where they bring their unique style and renowned traditions to a whole new level of opulence.

The St. Regis Kanai Resort, located on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, is scheduled to open in 2023, reflecting the company's dedication to expanding its resort offering. St. Regis plans to increase its presence in North America next year also with the opening of St. Regis Chicago.

A hotel in Riyadh and a resort on the private island of the Red Sea project are scheduled to open in Saudi Arabia, bringing the renowned Butler Service and historic tradition of the famous brand to the country for the first time. There were also new St. Regis hotels opened in Qatar, India, Kuwait, and Indonesia in the last year.

JW Marriott honors its guests by providing spa-quality amenities and extraordinary staff assistance

As befits a hotel with such a storied moniker, JW Marriott is geared for discerning, conscientious guests looking to strike a healthy balance between body, mind, and spirit. So Paulo, Changsha, Istanbul, Bangalore, and Frankfurt (the brand's first location in Germany) were just some of the exciting cities that the company opened in 2022.

From Madrid to Jeju Island, South Korea, and Dallas to Xi'an and Berlin, JW Marriott plans to continue bringing its signature brand of warm, genuine service to both well-established and up-and-coming locations in the next year.

Also, JW Marriott Masai Mara Lodge in Kenya is set to open soon, marking the company's entry into the high-end safari industry.

W Hotels keeps breaking barriers and adding flagship properties

W Hotels operates 67 locations throughout the globe, and in 2022 it launched a new perspective on its discreet luxury style, which would see an infusion of simple elegance everywhere. Elevated architecture, locally inspired programming, and W's signature "Whatever/Whenever" service are all examples of how the brand continues to innovate for sophisticated modern guests.

W's new concept was previewed in 2022 with the introduction of two properties: W Algarve, perched above the majestic cliffs of Southern Portugal, and W Costa Navarino in Greece.

W Dubai - Mina Seyahi, a 31-story tower overlooking the Arabian Gulf, and W Toronto, Canada, a tribute to the city's diverse cultural heritage both opened this year. Moreover, W Hotels plans to open new properties in Prague, Budapest, Edinburgh, Sydney, Macau, Mila, New York and Hollywood by the year to come.

The Luxury Collection brings unique travel experiences and authenticity to the market

The more than 120 hotels that make up The Luxury Collection's global portfolio guarantee guests genuine, in-depth adventures that are true to the spirit of each location.

In 2022, the brand debuted in Australia with the inauguration of The Tasman in Hobart, a seaside city rooted in rich history, and in Madrid with the premiere of Santo Mauro, showcasing upgraded royal décors and world-class gastronomic delicacies.

Next year, The Luxury Collection plans to open hotels in enticing locales all over the world, from Turkey to Barbados to Japan to Mexico to Tbilisi, Georgia, with each property acting as a doorway to the destination's distinct attractions.

Top travel spots for EDITION show no sign of slowing down

In 2022, EDITION, a prestigious chain of boutique hotels that many see as the future of the leisure hotel industry, opened locations in both Madrid and Tampa. In 2023, EDITION Hotels, which is already well-known for its high-end aesthetics, carefully selected local cuisine, and cutting-edge service will launch its first hotels in Italy, Mexico, and Southeast Asia, among other destinations.
