The Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort in the Cayman Islands has completed a more than $16 million renovation project.

The project was the second phase of a larger renovation plan; this phase included a transformation of the resort’s lobby, restaurants, ballroom, meeting rooms and fitness centre.

That included a rebranding of the lobby, restaurant and bar into “Anchor and Den.”

The 295-room resort is located on Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach.

Earlier this year, it was listed for sale by CBRE Hotels.
