Residence Inn by Marriott Jazan opens

The Residence Inn by Marriott Jazan recently opened its doors to the 79 suites property to welcome its extended stay travelers.
This is the brand’s first property in Saudi Arabia, but it is the third in the region with existing Residence Inn by Marriott properties in Manama Juffair in Bahrain and in Kuwait.
Coming to the region under a long-term management agreement with United Family, the Residence Inn by Marriott Jazan has become the second brand and property within Marriott International’s portfolio in Jazan along with Courtyard by Marriott Jazan.
“We believe that the Kingdom is an ideal fit to invest in a brand that will accommodate the needs and desires of business and leisure travelers from around the world who are constantly looking for options for their long stays,” Adel Jubran, cluster GM, Jazan Marriott Hotels, said.
“Residence Inn by Marriott provides a tremendous value for travelers through its spacious suites, fully equipped kitchens, and daily free hot breakfast among many other features. With the growth in tourism, high disposable income, oil wealth and economic development, and increase in infrastructural projects that are under way, we are confident this product will find huge success,” Jubran added.
Ghazi Al-Nafisi, chairman of United Family, said: “Residence Inn by Marriott Jazan City will set a new trend in the market, with its extra spacious suites, ranging from suites to two-bedroom accommodations. A mix of 79 spacious, stylish and residential-feel suites, fully equipped kitchens, free wi-fi, and free grocery delivery for all guests are the main amenities that the property will offer.”
Diane Mayer, VP and global brand manager of Residence Inn, said: “Across the region, we see demand rising for this unique product and we are perfectly positioned to serve the needs of this distinct group of travelers.”
