The Marriott Melrose Arch Collection of Hotels

The Marriott Melrose Arch Collection of Hotels is boldly growing into the future and invites you to grow with it.

The Marriott Melrose Arch Collection of Hotels is striving to consistently elevate their brand and offer more – more choice, more experiences, more value– ultimately facilitating their clients to achieve more. Inspired by Marriott International’s future-focused philosophy of all round growth and excellence, the Collection has launched into 2024 ready to exceed all expectations.

“We want to invite those who haven’t yet tried us, to put us to the test and kick off 2024 with not only the right partner, but an industry leading partner,” challenges Alison Turner, cluster director of marketing.
Here are some of the ways that the Marriott Melrose Arch Collection of Hotels are giving their clients more:

‘Four unique properties at one address’ is a key differential at the Marriott Melrose Arch Collection of Hotels. Each of the four properties offers a distinct value proposition and brand experience (see ‘Meet the Collection’), with the added benefit of being able to collaborate seamlessly within the cluster – giving clients access to even more options.

A centralised events booking team and dedicated online platform that work together to manage all inquiries in one place, fluidly integrating all four brands. This empowers the teams operating within the properties to work together in a dynamic and resourceful manner.

An increased sales team with an assigned planning manager to ensure every client has personal service and solutions tailored exactly to their needs, as well as more effective and efficient planning procedures. Every client also receives an in-depth pre-conference session to ensure that every detail is to their satisfaction.

Premium Rooms with exclusive concierge floors have been introduced into the hotels. This allows clients to book upgrades and elevate their stay further. The Premium Rooms and the brand experience they offer are as unique as each of the hotels, from a Rodeo Drive Room to a Marriott Concierge Experience, there is something for everyone.

Over 20 customisable menus are available to choose from, all of which incorporate sustainable principles. From how the ingredients are sourced to how food waste is managed, the kitchens adopt a considered approach throughout the food service process.

An extensive rooftop solar installation is another significant way that sustainable stays are being promoted. The result is that the Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch and the African Pride Melrose Arch, Autograph Collection now deliver an uninterrupted, sustainable power supply.

Lastly, Marriott Bonvoy Events is a loyalty programme that unlocks global benefits for meeting and event planners. With over 5 700 participating properties from across 30 brands, members receive a host of benefits such as destination insights and advice, case study success stories, exclusive promotions, and the opportunity to earn and spend reward points.

Alison says, “We want to gain more than just a once off transaction – we want to create a long-lasting relationship with our clients and reward them for their loyalty, so we encourage them to join Marriott Bonvoy Events for their business requirements. Join today! visit marriottbonvoyevents.com.”

Clients can also sign up as an individual traveller and experience the Marriott Bonvoy Loyalty program, adds Alison; “It’s an unrivalled travel program that goes beyond rewards to connect our members to more of what they love.
