Strong commitment to the DACH market
Marriott International sees significant expansion opportunities in the DACH region, especially with the growing demand for reliable midscale offerings in both primary and secondary locations. The company also reports an increasing interest in conversion projects for brands like Four Points by Sheraton, Four Points Flex by Sheraton, and Series by Marriott.
Currently, Marriott’s portfolio in the DACH region includes over 160 hotels with more than 32,000 rooms across 20 brands. Some of the strongest represented brands are Moxy Hotels (38 hotels), Courtyard by Marriott (24), and Autograph Collection (19). As part of its long-term growth strategy, Marriott is focusing on expansion through new projects and a dynamic development pipeline.
The planned growth is evident, with notable projects such as the addition of eight Four Points Flex by Sheraton hotels, six Moxy Hotels, and four additional Autograph Collection properties in development.
