Marriott International, a giant in the hospitality industry, has announced exciting plans to expand its Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy™ brand. This move comes just one year after the company expressed its desire to grow in the premium and luxury apartment-style accommodations sector. The news includes the opening of their first property in Puerto Rico and the signing of new agreements across the United States, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.
"Casa Costera, Isla Verde Beach" in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the first property to open under the Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy™ brand. This marks a significant milestone in Marriott's venture into blending the comforts of home with the luxury of a hotel.
Marriott's Chief Financial Officer and EVP of Development, Leeny Oberg, expressed enthusiasm about bringing this innovative concept to global developers. This new brand caters to guests seeking longer stays, blending work, personal, and family travel with spaces offering full kitchens, private bedrooms, and in-unit washers and dryers. The design of these properties is locally inspired, reflecting the essence of their prime locations.
Developers have a unique opportunity with Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy™. They can convert existing buildings, start new constructions, or integrate them into multi-use properties. These apartments offer dedicated lounges, outdoor spaces, and other amenities. Current Marriott owners and franchisees, as well as multi-family residential developers, can leverage Marriott's reputable name and the Marriott Bonvoy® loyalty program for these projects.
Locations for these new developments include Detroit and St. Louis in the United States; Courmayeur in Italy's Aosta Valley; and NEOM in Saudi Arabia. Each of these destinations promises to provide guests with unique, locally inspired, and luxurious accommodations.
The Plaza Apartments in Midtown Detroit, set to open in Q3 2024, is a conversion project featuring about 92 units with amenities like a fitness center. The property in St. Louis, developed in partnership with Midas Hospitality, will be a 50-unit property co-located with a new Sheraton Hotel.
In Italy, Le Géant in Courmayeur, a collaboration with Castello Sgr, will offer 47 units, combining sizeable living spaces with sophisticated design. Meanwhile, in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, the Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy™ will reflect the luxury and unique character of the island destination Sindalah. This property, with its 218 units, is anticipated to open in 2024 and will feature studios and apartments with up to three bedrooms.
These developments are more than just expansion plans; they represent Marriott's commitment to innovation and catering to the evolving needs of travellers worldwide. For more information, visit Marriott's website or follow their latest updates on their news centre.

In a city where tradition and transformation often collide, Art Junction at The Lalit New Delhi has carved out a unique identity as one of the capital’s most inclusive cultural spaces. This June, it strengthens that reputation with Unboxed, a bold Pride Month exhibition celebrating queer art and voices from across India.
Curated by Praveen Mahta, Unboxed is more than just an art show — it’s an intimate, unapologetic journey into the identities, struggles, and triumphs of LGBTQIA+ artists. Running through June, the exhibition gives centre stage to works that too often remain on the fringes. As Mahta says, “This is not just about art, this is about being allowed to take up space.”
The show features a diverse mix of emotionally charged canvases, surreal depictions of love and loss, and raw reflections on gender fluidity — each piece radiating honesty and urgency. Taking things further, Padma Shri awardee Naresh Kapuria led a special workshop for participating queer artists, helping them refine their techniques and deepen their creative confidence, underscoring Art Junction’s mission to nurture talent, not just display it.
The impact is already visible. Several artworks have found buyers through the platform — a breakthrough moment for many of these emerging artists. In a remarkable gesture, The Lalit has chosen not to take any commission from these sales. As Akshay Tyagi, DEI Head at The Lalit, put it, “It’s about giving these artists a stage they’re so often denied. It’s a living, breathing tribute to our philosophy of #PureLove — where diversity isn’t a theme, but a daily practice.”
Art Junction has long championed inclusive and accessible curation. From showcasing women artists and neurodiverse creators to supporting rural artisans and survivors of marginalisation, the gallery has consistently offered more than just wall space — it provides visibility, validation, and a voice. This vision is deeply supported by Keshav Suri, Executive Director of The Lalit and Founder of the Keshav Suri Foundation, who continues to steer the brand as a beacon of LGBTQIA+ inclusion in hospitality.
As India steadily builds its dialogue around dignity, identity, and rights, Art Junction remains a vital space — not only for art, but for authenticity and hope.
Unboxed runs until June 30, 2025, at Art Junction, The Lalit New Delhi. Entry is free. Come for the art. Stay for the revolution.
