Last year was full of great new hotel openings in the Caribbean, and 2015 should be more of the same. There are new hotels slated to open across the region, some large, some small, along with some cool properties that just opened at the tail end of 2015. Here are favourites, from those that just debuted to those whose doors will open at some point in 2015.

Marriott Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Set for a soft opening next month, the Marriott project is as much about boosting the local community in Haiti as it is about hospitality. In what could be a new kind of urban hotel model, Marriott’s Port-au-Prince hotel will be focused on the local and the sustainable, from sourcing Haitian coffee to Haitian-inspired cuisine to weekly local art markets.
