USA | Marriott International, Inc. announced the opening of City Express by Marriott Duluth, the first City Express by Marriott property in the United States. 

In its expansion, City Express by Marriott remains focused on delivering a seamless guest experience for both business and leisure travellers, while also offering a conversion-friendly model for owners. Each property will offer guestrooms designed to combine style and hassle-free comfort, featuring plush beds, high-speed internet access, and a complimentary breakfast to start the day right. Guests will also enjoy added convenience with 24-hour markets, pet-friendly policies, and on-site fitness facilities, ensuring that every stay is effortless and enjoyable.

"The introduction of City Express by Marriott properties in the U.S. represents a pivotal moment for Marriott International as we continue to expand our footprint in the midscale segment," said Noah Silverman, Global Development Officer, U.S. and Canada.

"The value proposition that this conversion-friendly, transient midscale brand brings both to owners and guests has turned City Express by Marriott into a powerhouse in the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) region, and we are thrilled to deliver this same combination of value to the U.S. and Canada."

Marriott is set to accelerate the expansion of City Express by Marriott across the U.S. and Canada throughout 2025 and beyond, with over 45 total signed agreements already in place, more than a dozen of which are slated to open this year. The 2025 openings will be strategically located in some of the most sought-after destinations across the region, including New Orleans Northeast and Chicago Downtown expected in Q2 of 2025, along with Orlando International Drive,  Port Hope (Ontario, Canada), and others scheduled to open later this year.

"The launch of the brand in the U.S. and Canada market underscores our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of all travellers," said Diana Plazas-Trowbridge, Chief Lodging Products Officer, U.S. and Canada.

"Whether for business or leisure, guests at City Express by Marriott in the U.S. and Canada will now experience the same seamless, efficient stay that has made the brand a success in the CALA region. We're excited to bring this unique blend of value and convenience to new travellers and Marriott Bonvoy members."
