Marriott International Plans Two More Hotels For Tianjin

Marriott International plans to open its third Renaissance-branded hotel and first Marriott Executive Apartments property for extended stay travelers in Tianjin, China later this year, under a management agreement with Tianjin Tianbin Real Estate Development Company.

The two hotels are the 368-room Renaissance Tianjin Lakeview Hotel and the 96-unit The Lakeview, Tianjin–Marriott Executive Apartments. They will share the same lakefront building in Tianjin’s Hexi District close to night life, high-end shopping, and the offices of major financial institutions.

Ed Fuller, the president and managing director of international lodging for Marriott, commented that Tianjin has evolved into an important high-tech and financial center in China and is home to a significant ex-pat community who will appreciate the availability of the first Marriott Executive Apartments in the city.

For social events and conferences, the hotel will have 2,750 square meters of function space including a 1,500-square-meter ballroom that will be divisible into three sections, a 400-square-meter junior ballroom capable of being divided in two, and three additional meetings rooms in varying configurations, all of which will be divisible into two sections each.

The Lakeview, Tianjin–Marriott Executive Apartments will offer a range of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, all of which will be fully furnished and include a fully-equipped kitchen; an in-unit laundry and safe; a flat screen, high definition television; and high-speed Internet access.

While residents will be able to use the recreational and dining options at the Renaissance hotel, they will have a dedicated restaurant and lounge of their own for breakfast as well as an on-premise sundry and delicatessen shop. Other amenities will include, a multi-purpose game room, a children’s playroom, room service and on-property resident storage room.

The Marriott International portfolio in Tianjin currently consists of the 280-room Renaissance Tianjin and the 284-room Renaissance Tianjin TEDA. The 400-room Tianjin Marriott is planned to open in 2013.
