Marriott International’s Autograph Collection has expanded with the Hotel Punta Islita in Costa Rica. With this opening, the collection has reached 50 hotels in 13 countries in less than three years.
“To reach 50 hotels in less than three years is a testament to the vibrancy and success of Autograph Collection as an innovative business venture,” says Arne Sorenson, president and CEO of Marriott International. “Through championing independence and welcoming extraordinary hotel experiences like Hotel Punta Islita, Autograph remains one of the fastest growing independent hotel collections in the industry.”
The hotel sanctuary specializes in sustainable tourism and programs including reforestation, animal protection, and water conservation. To help alleviate poverty, local residents comprise more than 85 percent of the hotel’s staff.
