Marriott International Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific hotel development vice-president Richard Crawford said: “Marriott International is recognised as the global leader in the upper upscale and luxury segments.

“Today’s signing with Pelligra Group and Giannarelli Group is a profound indication of strong investor confidence, buoyed by a resurgent affluent domestic travel market.

“Once opened, the resort expects to set a new benchmark for luxury on Australia’s Gold Coast with the property’s enviable waterfront location.”

The Ritz-Carlton, Gold Coast will be part of a $480m new waterfront development at Mariner’s Cove.

The property will be located close to most popular tourist attractions including waterfront restaurants and bars, the Broadwater, and white sand beaches.

In May this year, Marriott entered into agreement with The Red Sea Development Company to develop the first Ritz-Carlton Reserve brand hotel in the Middle East.
