(NASDAQ: MAR) has signed an agreement with GNV Group to bring its iconic W Hotels Worldwide brand to Argentina for the first time in dynamic Buenos Aires, underscoring growing demand from developers and consumers alike for W Hotels' bold design, signature Whatever/Whenever® service and innovative programming. The hotel – expected to open in 2024 – and its planned residences will be located within a $100 million, 34-story, mixed-use tower poised to rise in the heart of the captivating Puerto Madero neighbourhood, the ideal location for the brand's passion for what's new/next. "We are thrilled to be working with GNV Group to bring the inimitable W experience to the highly desirable Madero Harbour development, as Puerto Madero is one of Buenos Aires' most sought-after neighbourhoods," said Laurent de Kousemaeker, Chief Development Officer, Marriott International, Caribbean & Latin America. "Puerto Madero is poised to become one of Latin America's coveted luxury destinations, as residential, office, and retail entities thrive within its chic, bohemian vibe, surrounded by high-energy nightlife, lush green spaces, and perfect walkability." W Buenos Aires will be designed by internationally renowned architect Carlos Ott and the local studio BMA, drawing upon the city's culture, heritage and devotion to forward-thinking design and growth. A lively mix of meeting space, restaurants and a rooftop bar with sweeping views of the city will be the backdrop to the hotel's anticipated 150 rooms. "Buenos Aires is a city that never sleeps and – like the W brand – is bursting with creative energy," said Ivan Ginevra, Vice President of GNV Group. "The combination of the city's phenomenal nightlife, rich and stunning architecture and cultural heritage make it one of the world´s most inspiring and passionate capitals – and perfect for W guests, who live on the pulse, and who seek the unexpected."

It will alter the Buenos Aires skyline, and help make Puerto Madero the coolest spot in the city," said Alejandro Ginevra, President, GNV Group. Buenos Aires is known for its sense of limitless energy, and for attracting creativity, with many designers, makers, and innovators flocking to its European-style streets and absorbing its rich history, culture, and architecture.
