Available to book as of March 2025, the opening marks a significant milestone for the company as its official debut in the affordable midscale segment in the U.S. and Canada.
In its expansion, City Express by Marriott remains focused on delivering a seamless guest experience for both business and leisure travellers–-while also offering a conversion-friendly model for owners. Each property will offer guest rooms designed to combine style and hassle-free comfort.
“The introduction of City Express by Marriott properties in the U.S. represents a pivotal moment for Marriott International as we continue to expand our footprint in the midscale segment,” says Noah Silverman, global development officer, U.S. and Canada. “The value proposition that this conversion-friendly, transient midscale brand brings both to owners and guests has turned City Express by Marriott into a powerhouse in the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) region, and we are thrilled to deliver this same combination of value to the U.S. and Canada.”
Marriott is set to accelerate the expansion of City Express by Marriott across the U.S. and Canada throughout 2025 and beyond, with over 45 total signed agreements already in place–-more than a dozen of which are slated to open this year. The 2025 openings will be strategically located in some of the most sought-after destinations across the region including City Express by Marriott New Orleans Northeast and City Express by Marriott Chicago Downtown expected in Q2 of 2025. Along with City Express by Marriott Orlando International Drive, City Express by Marriott Port Hope, Ont., and others scheduled to open later this year.
Since acquiring the City Express brand portfolio in 2023, Marriott has been strategically expanding its footprint in the fast-growing affordable midscale segment–-offering tailored products that resonate with regional markets and attract new customers. The company proudly features three dynamic midscale brands: City Express by Marriott in CALA and the U.S. and Canada, Four Points Flex by Sheraton in Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific excluding China, and StudioRes, an upcoming extended stay brand set to debut in the U.S. and Canada this year.
