Marriott International, Inc. announced it has signed an agreement with Steamships Trading Company Ltd. to debut its first hotel in Papua New Guinea, the Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby. Slated to open in mid-2023, the hotel is set to be located in the heart of Port Moresby within the mixed-use development of Harbourside South.
Mr. Geoff Cundle, Chairman of Steamships, said “I’m delighted that Steamships will work with Marriott International at Harbourside South. Located in the CBD district of downtown Port Moresby and overlooking the Coral Sea and Fairfax Harbour, this is set to be a flagship development for Steamships, and the Marriott Executive Apartments is an excellent fit within the overall Harbourside precinct. The Harbourside precinct connects Harbourside South’s retail, commercial, leisure and residential facilities with the existing commercial floors and F&B outlets of Harbourside East and West. Residents and guests of the Marriott Executive Apartments will be able to live, shop, relax, work, and dine within the luxury and safety of the precinct – the first of its kind in Papua New Guinea. We’re looking forward to welcoming travelers to Papua New Guinea and rewarding their loyalty through Marriott Bonvoy.”
Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby is anticipated to feature 88 modern residential apartments – offering space, ambiance, and the privacy of residential living, enabling a comfortable stay away from home. The new property is slated to feature spacious one and two-bedroom apartments with separate living, sleeping, and working areas.
Guests will also be able to enjoy additional amenities, including laundry services, kitchens equipped with a refrigerator, dishwasher, cooktop, microwave and oven, and spacious four to six seat in-room dining areas.
“We are pleased to sign the agreement that expects to debut Marriott International’s first hotel in Papua New Guinea. This is a significant milestone signing and testament to the confidence our owners have in our brands and distribution systems,” highlighted Sean Hunt, Area Vice President, Australia, New Zealand and Pacific for Marriott International. “Following our signing of Marriott Executive Apartments in Melbourne earlier this year, this second signing for the brand is set to strengthen our offering that caters to guests looking to mix business and leisure travel with a ‘home away from home’ feeling for longer stays.”
Once opened, Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby will feature a lounge for residents and guests that offers a relaxed environment for light meals, self-service options and evening cocktails. Additional plans call for a spacious leisure floor which includes a lap pool, leisure pool, a well-equipped fitness centre, three spa treatment rooms, and a recreational zone for children.
Marriott Executive Apartments Port Moresby will be part of the new Harbourside South development which also includes a retail floor and three floors of A-grade commercial space. It will connect to the Harbourside East and West buildings on Port Moresby’s waterfront, which opened in 2015. The development offers quality commercial tenancies, the city’s finest restaurants and bars, a boardwalk, and marina.
