The Luxury Collection hotels

Landmark hotels keep their own names and histories, from Venetian palaces to modern wine estates.

The Luxury Collection brings individually named hotels and resorts into Marriott’s family while preserving the architecture, history, and personality of each address. Marriott Bonvoy provides a familiar thread through stays whose character comes from the property itself, whether the choice is a city landmark, a palace, or a coastal retreat.

History

The Luxury Collection’s history runs through CIGA and its Italian grand hotels. Their palazzo settings brought centuries of architectural history into the later international collection. The crest inspired by the horses of St. Mark’s retains a visible connection to that Venetian lineage.
