Marriott International has unveiled its selection of highly anticipated openings in 2021 across Europe, the Middle East and Africa:
The St. Regis Almasa, Cairo – Q1
Located in the new administrative capital of Egypt, just outside the city, The St. Regis Almasa, Cairo provides a serene escape from the bustle of Cairo. Uncompromising quality and service flows through the hotel and takes centre stage at ‘The Crystal Restaurant’, soon to become the dining destination of choice for locals and travellers alike. The hotel is home to the city’s largest continuous ballroom space.
Hotel Riomar, Ibiza, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel – Q2
The 116-room boutique hotel infuses laid-back vibes and edgy elegance with pure escapism. Set on the shores of Santa Eulalia Bay, the stylish retreat is surrounded by the White Isle’s crystal-clear waters on one side, and idyllic rolling landscapes on the other. The hotel’s modernist design is filled with natural light and provides three dining outlets including ‘Tribe’, a Tiki bar set within a secret tropical garden.
W Algarve – Q2
Beach life gets a brand-new spin with W Algarve, the brand’s entry into Portugal. Making a splash on the Algarve coast, the 134-key property boasts direct access to three beaches and sea views from each room.

The Sky Deck provides unrivalled views of the Algarve coastline and when the sun sets, guests can make the most of W’s renowned Wet Deck parties.
The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection Hotel – Q2
Built at the end of La Belle Époque, the former bank reflects the era’s dynamic, optimistic and creative edge. Known during its heyday as ‘Marmorosch Bank Palace’, the energy and rich heritage of the era is reflected in the building’s design, sheer grandeur, timeless elegance, Art Deco interiors and artworks. The distinguished food and beverage offerings are inspired by France, as a nod to Bucharest’s nickname at the time, ‘The Paris of the East’.
The Westin London City – Q3
Marking the debut of Westin Hotels & Resorts in the UK, The Westin London City is poised to set a new standard for well-being in the heart of the capital.
