Marriott to Add Courtyard Hotel in Mexico´s Cancun

The Marriott International hotel portfolio in Cancun will grow with the opening of the 200-room Courtyard by Marriott Cancun International Airport in 2007 under a franchise agreement with Hostal del Sol, S.A. de C. V.

When opened, the hotel will be the fifth Courtyard in Mexico and first of its brand in the popular Caribbean resort destination.

The three-story hotel will be located at the southeast end of “Lagos del Sol,” a mixed-use development covering 815 acres close to Cancun´s International Airport and just outside the main tourist zone in Cancun. Included in the development will be private residential dwellings, restaurants, shops and a private hospital.

The Courtyard by Marriott Cancun International Airport will offer a casual restaurant serving three meals daily, a bar and lounge, business services, high speed Internet access, Wi-Fi access, a fitness center and swimming pool and approximately 200-square meters of flexible meeting space.

Marriott´s Courtyard brand portfolio in Mexico consists of the 129-room Courtyard by Marriott Monterrey and the 153-room Courtyard by Marriott Toluca. The 74-room Courtyard by Marriott Torreon is expected to open later this year and the 175-room Courtyard by Marriott Monterrey Galerias is scheduled to open in 2006.
