In 2014, Marriott International opened a new brand of hotels in the United States, named the Delta Hotels and Resorts. These upscale hotels have many of the qualities that earn the designation “boutique.” Delta Hotels tend to be in trendy, urban settings while maintaining the character of the local culture. They are highly service-oriented and can be expected to have the “quirkiness” that is expected of a boutique venue.
While Delta’s first U.S. Hotel, the Delta Orlando Lake Buena Vista opened in 2015, it was not the first Delta Hotel. The brand’s birthplace was in Canada, and proved to be a worthy acquisition for Marriott. Since the move to the United States, Delta Hotel properties have grown rapidy.
The Delta features 150 guestrooms with the latest accommodations including workspace with convenient power outlets and wi-fi. The hotel was also setup with events in mind with over 3,300 feet of meeting and event space. The Raven Ballroom can handle up to 80 guests and is also popular for corporate events.
Marriott plans to aggressively expand the Delta brand as part of its foray into boutique hotels.
