Marriott International has signed an agreement with Steamships Trading Company to debut its first property in Papua New Guinea, the Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby. The property is expected to open in the heart of Port Moresby within the mixed-use development of Harbourside South in mid-2023.
Situated in the CBD district of downtown Port Moresby and overlooking the Coral Sea and Fairfax Harbour, Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby is set to be a flagship development for Steamships.
"This property is an excellent fit within the overall Harbourside precinct, which connects Harbourside South's retail, commercial, leisure and residential facilities with the existing commercial floors and F&B outlets of Harbourside East and West," said Geoff Cundle, Chairman of Steamships. "Residents and guests of the property can live, shop, relax, work, and dine within the luxury and safety of the precinct – the first of its kind in Papua New Guinea."
Featuring 88 modern residential apartments – offering space, ambience, and the privacy of residential living, Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby will provide a comfortable stay away from home. The spacious one and two bedroom apartments with separate living, sleeping, and working areas will include additional amenities, such as laundry services, kitchens equipped with a refrigerator, dishwasher, cooktop, microwave and oven, and ample dining areas.
Once open, Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby will include a lounge area for both residents and guests, offering a relaxed environment for light meals, self-service options and evening cocktails. Additional plans call for an ample leisure floor, including a lap pool, a well-equipped fitness centre, three spa treatment rooms, and a recreational zone for little ones.
The upcoming property will play an integral part in the new Harbourside South development, which also comprises a retail floor and three floors of A-grade commercial space. It will connect to the Harbourside East and West buildings on Port Moresby's waterfront, which opened in 2015. The development offers quality commercial tenancies, the city's finest food and beverage outlets, a boardwalk, and marina.
