Port-au-Prince locale to debut in 2014
Marriott International announced plans to open a 173-room Port-au-Prince Marriott Hotel in Haiti under management agreement with ownership group Unigestion Holding S.A., a subsidiary of Digicel Group Ltd. Work on the $45 million project is expected to begin next year and be completed by mid 2014.
Digicel Group, Haiti’s largest telecommunications provider, is responsible for designing and building the hotel, and chose Marriott’s flagship Marriott Hotels & Resorts brand as its operating partner under a long-term management agreement. The foundation founded by former U.S. president Bill Clinton worked with Marriott and Digicel to develop the project in a city that was hard-hit by an earthquake in early 2010.
“This new hotel project will stand as a symbol of Haiti’s recovery, providing much-needed jobs to the Haitian people and encouraging foreigners to visit, invest and work in Port-au-Prince,” said Clinton. “The investment by these two partners proves that Haiti is open for business and on the path to economic recovery.”
