Marriott International has completed its acquisition of the innovative lifestyle brand citizenM. This transaction provides even more lodging offerings for guests and Marriott Bonvoy members in exciting destinations around the world.
The current citizenM global portfolio includes 37 open hotels, comprising 8,789 rooms, across more than 20 cities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific. citizenM's current pipeline of two hotels totaling over 300 rooms are also anticipated to be added to Marriott’s portfolio.
With the acquisition complete, Marriott will now begin the process of integrating the citizenM portfolio into its systems and platforms. Until citizenM properties are fully integrated, anticipated later this year, they will remain bookable on citizenM’s digital channels.
At this time, members of the award-winning citizenM subscription program will continue to enjoy benefits, with more details to come about how the program will work following integration.
Additionally, once integration is complete, citizenM will become a fully participating brand within the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, unlocking even more value for members.
The citizenM brand is known for its genuine service, tech-savvy in-hotel experience, highly efficient use of space, and focus on art and design.
Founded in 2008, the brand caters to a growing demographic of value-conscious travelers looking for technology-driven accommodations with features like smart in-room design, indoor and outdoor common spaces featuring immersive artwork and local artifacts, comfortably appointed living rooms that serve as collaborative workspaces, creative meeting rooms, grab-and-go food and beverage options, and lively rooftop decks.
Marriott’s acquisition of citizenM is a smart move that adds innovation and style to its already diverse portfolio. As someone recently updating spaces at home and exploring bathroom remodeling services, I find citizenM’s modern, space-efficient design inspiring. Their approach to blending function and aesthetics could easily influence future home renovation trends too.
