Marriott International has announced intentions to convert three US-based luxury properties into brands within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.

These are The Resort at Pelican Hill, Turtle Bay Resort, and a luxury Midtown hotel in New York City.

Marriott chief financial officer and international development executive vice president Leeny Oberg said: “In the last few weeks, we finalised deals for conversions of three incredible properties, adding over 1,000 rooms to our system and continuing to underscore our commitment to luxury.”

Last month, Host Hotels & Resorts agreed to purchase the fee simple interest in the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.

It further expressed its plans to transition management to Marriott and rebrand the resort under The Ritz-Carlton brand.

The 405-room resort, with oceanfront bungalows, suites, and ocean-view rooms, is now expected to join the brand later this year. It offers access to seven secluded beaches, 12 miles of trails, and a variety of on-site amenities.

In New York, a luxury hotel in Midtown Manhattan is slated to join the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio on 5 June. This property will mark The Luxury Collection's return to New York City.

The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California, is also set to join Marriott's luxury portfolio on 1 July.

The 504-acre five-star resort includes the Pelican Hill Golf Club with its two 18-hole golf courses.

While The Irvine Company will retain ownership, Marriott will manage the property, with plans to convert it to a St Regis in the future.

Marriott's luxury segment currently comprises more than 510 open hotels and resorts across 70 countries and territories.
