A new 150-room Courtyard by Marriott Hotel is set to open in Lima under an agreement with a distinguished Peruvian corporation, Inversiones La Rioja, which owns the existing 300-room JW Marriott Lima and 153-room JW Marriott Cusco.

Ibis has become Europe’s outright number one hotel brand, with 1,277 hotels and 121,882 rooms across the continent. Part of the growth represents new property developments, while the bulk is a result of a major repositioning strategy by Accor to amalgamate and uniform the Ibis product with former brands Etap Hotels and All Seasons.

The Americas and Asia are the main engines of growth for Melia Hotels International, although the Spanish and European markets remain important also.
