JW Marriott heads to the White Sand Beaches of Turks and Caicos
Marriott International has plans to open a new 380-room JW Marriott Hotel and Casino which will include 16 residential condos located on the island of Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.
The property will be operated by Marriott International under a long-term agreement with Desarrollos Hotel co Turks and Caicos Ltd., a group made up of regional investors.
The nine-storey hotel, scheduled to open in early 2016, will be built on a 11-acre site and is located on the renowned Grace Bay beach along the north coast of Providenciales.
In addition to 380 guestrooms and suites, the hotel will house a 10,355sq ft (962sq m) spa and fitness centre.
A gourmet specialty restaurant, a three-meal-a-day restaurant, a lobby bar and lounge and a pool bar & grill will feature.
Other features will include a 13,993sq ft (1,300sq m) of meeting space, including a ballroom; as well as three swimming pools, a kids/teen club, and a 9,698sq ft (901 sq m) casino.
The primary architect for the project is Robert M. Coleman & Partners, who also designed the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans, the Marriott's Aruba Surf Club timeshare resort, the recently-opened Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino and the Ritz-Carlton Aruba, currently under construction.
Laurent de Kousemaeker, chief development officer for Marriott International in the Caribbean & Latin America, said: "Turks & Caicos is a fabulous luxury Caribbean destination that currently has no supply of internationally renowned luxury brand hotels that offer the range of resort amenities which leisure and incentive guests are looking for."
