Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of brands is slated to debut a number of select service branded hotels in highly sought-after leisure destinations throughout 2021. With travel on the horizon, the new openings – which include Moxy Miami South Beach, Aloft Tulum, AC Hotel by Marriott Maui Wailea, Residence Inn by Marriott Cancun Hotel Zone, and Courtyard by Marriott Mazatlán Sinaloa Mexico – will answer to burgeoning demand and prolonged wanderlust to explore the sun and the sand in spacious, airy atmospheres.

A recently published report by Allied Market Research valued the global leisure travel market size at just over $1 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach more than $1.7 billion by 2027. Insights from McKinsey & Company and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) also confirm that “sun and beach” related searches are leading the way for recovery amongst U.S. travelers.

Leisure trips are expected to outperform business travel through 2021, particularly driven by celebration-centric travel. Many consumers plan to book trips to commemorate postponed life events and milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and honeymoons.

Residence Inn by Marriott Cancun Hotel Zone

Residence Inn, the unparalleled leader in the longer stays segment, made its debut in Cancun this January providing guests the freedom to travel the way they love to live. Whether they are staying for a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months, the all-suite property offers guests the ideal environment to live without constraints paired with highly personal service.

Each of the 158 guest suites features separate work, living, and sleeping spaces complete with a fully equipped kitchen. The hotel’s complimentary grocery service truly allows guests to shop and cook at their own convenience, just like they would at home. With a nod to modern residential design, the living space at the Residence Inn Cancun extends outdoors where guests can take a deep breath of the Caribbean breeze, enjoy the view, swim in the pool, or grill their favorite foods.

The Moxy bedrooms are dressed in vivid Miami hues and drenched in Florida sunshine, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. Six new drinking and dining venues, developed by the founders of Miami’s uber-popular Coyo Taco and 1-800-LUCKY, include Como Como, a marisquería (seafood restaurant) and raw bar; Mezcalista, a sexy mezcal lounge; Serena, an open-air rooftop restaurant and bar; Los Buenos, a taco stand/bodega in the lobby, complemented by Bar Moxy, which doubles as a social hub and check-in area; and The Upside, a rooftop bar on the eighth floor exclusively for hotel guests and private events.

The boho-chic inspired hotel will feature 140 loft-style rooms and suites with expansive 10-foot-high ceilings, plush platform beds, and light airy décor infused with natural textiles to deliver the ultimate comfort.
