Marriott expands Delta brand globally
Delta Hotels and Resorts announced today the official grand opening of the Delta Orlando Lake Buena Vista in partnership with JHM Hotels. This is Delta’s first branded hotel in the United States and signals the global expansion of the Delta brand. A new Delta logo has also been revealed in conjunction with the official grand opening as part of the integration of the Delta brand into the Marriott family.
“The Delta Orlando Lake Buena Vista marks the beginning of a period of exciting growth for the award-wining Delta brand,” said Paul Cahill, Global Brand Leader Delta Hotels & Resorts, area vice president of operations, Canada. “The new streamlined logo design reflects our promise to provide guests with a seamless travel experience so they can focus on what’s important.
The Delta Hotels and Resorts brand encompasses a rich Canadian history and is set to complement the existing Marriott International portfolio in the country which currently consists of 136 hotels, 11 brands and more than 25,000 rooms. Besides the Orlando hotel, Marriott plans to expand Delta’s hospitality globally to major gateway cities including New York, Shanghai and London. The development will bring the brand’s offering to a total of 80 hotels.
The Delta Orlando hotel features 241 guestrooms, a resort-style outdoor swimming pool that will soon boast a kids’ splash zone featuring a pirate ship. There is a kids’ game room on-site, a 24/7 fitness centre with state of the art touch screen technology on equipment, complimentary high-speed WiFi and on-site parking. Guests can also enjoy the D-Flats restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily featuring Neapolitan style flatbreads, brick oven pizzas and a long list of local craft beers on tap. The hotel also features an outdoor fire pit area.
“The Delta Orlando Lake Buena Vista offers state-of-the-art technology and intuitive designs to meet the needs of modern business and leisure travellers. It combines the benefits of an upscale family resort with a boutique feel to offer guests a unique experience,” concluded DJ Rama, president of JHM Hotels.
