Marriott International and the Fametro Group have signed an agreement to convert an iconic property in Manaus in Brazil's Amazonas to a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, a collection brand within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio. The existing property will retain elements of its original architecture. Originally opened in March 1976, the iconic colonial-style hotel, the former Tropical Hotel Manaus, attracted prominent celebrities and influential figures of its time.
This first Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Brazil is anticipated for a phased reopening starting at the end of 2024 with extensive rooms and suites. The property will offer an array of amenities, such as a large wave pool, gym, spa, sports courts, meeting rooms and kids' space during its initial phases. Dining options on property will include various restaurants, including one with panoramic view of the Rio Negro. Additionally, guests of the hotel will have access to an orchidarium, a chapel and pier for vessels navigating Amazon’s Rio Negro, all planned for future stages of development.
Manaus is known as the gateway to the Amazon River, offering both visitors and locals the opportunity to experience the rainforest, explore colonial architecture and encounter the region's wildlife.
With nearly 120 hotels across over 25 countries and territories, Tribute Portfolio intends to attract travelers who seek unique, independent experiences and a strong connection with local communities. From boutique resorts like Ermita in Cartagena and urban retreats such as the Bellyard in Atlanta and Hotel Riomar in Ibiza, each Tribute Portfolio property embraces its distinctiveness.
