Delta Hotels debuts in the US
Marriott have announced the opening of the first Delta Hotel in the United States - the Delta Orlando Lake Buena Vista.
The latest addition to Marriott’s four-star brand signals the global expansion of the Delta brand, which is located primarily in Canada. A new Delta logo was also revealed in conjunction with the new hotel’s opening.
"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 241-room Delta Orlando is well suited to younger family members, with a “resort-style” outdoor swimming pool that will soon boast a kids' splash zone with a pirate ship, as well a kids' game room. Other features include a 24/7 fitness centre and an outdoor fire pit.
The D-Flats restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, featuring menu options such as Neapolitan style flatbreads, brick oven pizzas and a long list of local craft beers on tap. The new U.S. hotel is a member of the Disney Good Neighbor Hotel program and is located just minutes away from local Orlando attractions and offers complimentary transportation daily to Walt Disney World.
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.
