ZHUHAI, CHINA—Marriott Hotels, the flagship brand of Marriott International, has accelerated its expansion in China with the opening of the Zhuhai Marriott Hotel here.
Under a long-term management agreement with ZhuHai New Dragon Hotel Co., Ltd, the 332-room Zhuhai Marriott Hotel is the first property of Marriott International in the city. It is located in Xiangzhou District, the city center of Zhuhai, and is adjacent to the Jingshan Park. The hotel is accessible to the Zhuhai Light Rail Station, Jiuzhou Ferry Terminal and Zhuhai Airport.
The hotel is a renovation and expansion project of the Zhuhai Hotel, which was highly regarded as the epitome of the city’s intimate bond with Lingnan culture, according to the company. The original building was designed in Lingnan garden architectural style and once called “Grand View Garden.”
