SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR—Marriott International plans to open a 130-room Fairfield by Marriott in El Salvador.
The hotel, scheduled to open in 2016, will feature a modern design, restaurant, meeting space and fitness center. Located adjacent to the La Gran Via shopping mall and in close proximity to large corporations such as Xerox, Citibank, the World Bank, Bayers and Siemens, the hotel will serve as a lodging option for frequent business travelers, according to the company.
The property will be developed by Dueñas Hermanos Ltda. (d.b.a. Urbanica Desarrollos Inmobiliarios), Caribe Hospitality and Terranum Hotels, the same the companies that own the existing Courtyard by Marriott San Salvador. The hotel will be managed by Marriott International under a long-term agreement.
“As Central America continues to develop, the region’s middle class continues to grow and travel more and more, requiring reliable, high-quality accommodations to cater to their lodging needs,” said Craig S. Smith, president of the Caribbean and Latin America at Marriott International. “This new property reaffirms the company’s commitment to Central America and marks the continuation of our aggressive growth plans in the region.”
“We are fortunate to have such excellent regional partners in Latin America with a progressive mindset, with whom we look forward to continue to grow many successful hotels within the region” says Laurent de Kousemaeker, chief development officer for Marriott International, Inc. in the Caribbean & Latin America “El Salvador is among the top Central American markets we are targeting for our select-service brands.”
