Marriott Is Opening Its First Hotels in Nicaragua

By: Guy Britton - January 24, 2025

Marriott is expanding again in the Caribbean basin, this time with its fast-growing City Express brand, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The newest City Express hotels in the region will debut in the third quarter of this year with the opening of the City Express by Marriott Managua, City Express by Marriott Esteli in the heart of the country’s tobacco-growing region; and City Centro by Marriott La Recoleccion.

The third property will be in the city of Leon, with 50 rooms. 

The 100-room hotel will be set within the city’s HEX Convention Center. 

They’re the first hotels for City Express in Nicaragua — and the first Marriott-branded hotels in the country, too.
