Marriott International has marked a major milestone with the opening of its 9,000th property, the St Regis Longboat Key Resort in Longboat Key, Florida. This luxurious beachfront resort spans 18 acres and features 168 guest rooms, including 26 suites and 69 private branded residences.

Developed by Unicorp National Developments and designed by SB Architects, HBA Miami, and Dutch East Design, the St Regis Longboat Key Resort exemplifies the elegance and sophistication synonymous with the St Regis brand. Marriott International President and CEO Anthony Capuano expressed his excitement about this achievement, stating, “We are delighted to announce the opening of the St Regis Longboat Key, a true testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled luxury and personalized service. It is particularly fitting that this magnificent hotel marks the 9,000th property in our portfolio. We are excited to invite guests and residence owners to experience this unique blend of modern amenities and timeless charm and look forward to creating unforgettable memories in this stunning location.”

The company also operates 139 branded residential properties across 32 countries and territories and has a pipeline of 122 projects across 38 locations.

Earlier this month, Marriott International further expanded its global presence by partnering with Zhong An Commercial Group to introduce the W Hotels brand to Hangzhou, China. The W Hangzhou, slated for a 2031 opening, will offer 270 guest rooms and suites.

As Marriott continues to grow its portfolio, the opening of the St Regis Longboat Key Resort highlights the company's dedication to offering exceptional experiences and luxurious accommodations worldwide.
