This opening forms part of Marriott’s global expansion strategy, which focuses on fast-growing international markets such as Hong Kong.

Marriott International president and CEO Arne Sorenson said: “It’s thrilling to open our 7,000th property, an incredible milestone for a company that began as a nine-stool root beer stand in 1927 and didn’t even open its first hotel until decades later.

“I can’t think of a more fitting property to hold the honour than The St. Regis Hong Kong which underscores the benefits of our merger with Starwood, the importance of luxury and the tremendous opportunity in Asia.”

In March this year, Marriott presented its plan to open more than 1,700 hotels across the globe by the end of 2021. These openings are expected to create nearly 150,000 jobs around the world.
