Me vs. Atlanta Airport Marriott

I got double-charged for my room stay at 221b Con. I paid cash, (and got a receipt) but Atlanta Airport Marriott then made an unauthorized charge to my bank account for the exact same sum and has refused to refund my money. I've tried contacting the hotel directly. I've tried contacting their customer service website. I've posted negative reviews. I've tried filing a police report. I've reported the fraudulent charge to my bank. I'm currently waiting on a response from the Better Business Bureau.

Anybody else have a similar experience at Atlanta Airport Marriott?

LET’S RUN THIS ONE UP!!

Marriott International has unveiled a bold plan to significantly expand its presence across Europe. Announced at the recent International Hospitality Investment Forum in Berlin, the ambitious strategy focuses on strategically converting existing buildings into hotels and revitalizing underutilized properties through adaptive reuse projects. By the end of 2026, Marriott anticipates adding nearly 100 new properties and over 12,000 rooms to its European portfolio – a remarkable feat representing over 40% of the company's development pipeline in the region during that timeframe. This growth surge signifies Marriott's unwavering commitment to solidifying its European footprint. Currently, the hospitality giant boasts a robust portfolio exceeding 800 properties with nearly 150,000 rooms across 25 diverse brands, spanning 47 distinct countries and territories. Marriott Sets European Leveraging Conversions for Strategic Growth Satya Anand, President of Europe, Middle East & Africa for Marriott International, emphasizes the significance of conversions and adaptive reuse projects in fueling this expansion: "We're witnessing consistent growth across Europe through conversion and adaptive reuse opportunities. This reinforces the trust that our owners and franchisees have in Marriott International as they seek to reposition existing assets and maximize their returns on investment." Anand further highlights the advantages of partnering with Marriott: "Conversions with Marriott offer distinct benefits for owners and franchisees. They gain access to our established brands, competitive affiliation costs, access to our powerful revenue generation engines, and the unparalleled reach of Marriott Bonvoy – our award-winning travel program boasting over 200 million members worldwide." Momentum Across Brand Segments and Geographies Marriott is witnessing a surge in the adoption of conversion and adaptive reuse projects across various European countries, including Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Türkiye. Interestingly, this trend is evident across all brand segments within the company's portfolio. A Mid-Scale Boom: The launch of Four Points Express by Sheraton, Marriott's new midscale brand, has significantly propelled conversion opportunities in the region since its introduction in 2023. This brand caters to the growing demand for reliable and affordable accommodation across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Following the recent opening of Four Points Express by Sheraton Bursa in Türkiye, the brand is slated to expand further with five new properties across the UK and Türkiye by the end of 2025. Select Service Growth: In the select service segment, projected additions via conversions and adaptive reuse projects in Europe by the end of 2026 are dominated by brands like Moxy Hotels, AC Hotels by Marriott, Four Points by Sheraton, and Residence Inn by Marriott, collectively representing over 25% of the expected growth. Premium and Luxury Expansion: The premium segment is also experiencing noteworthy growth through this strategy. Tribute Portfolio and Autograph Collection are expected to contribute over 20% of the anticipated additions in Europe by the end of 2026 through conversions. This reinforces Marriott's commitment to offering diverse and unique experiences within this category. Furthermore, the luxury segment is also witnessing an upsurge in conversion opportunities. The Luxury Collection, W Hotels, The Ritz-Carlton, and St. Regis Hotels & Resorts are projected to collectively account for over 10% of the anticipated additions in Europe by the end of 2026. Unlocking Advantages for Independent Properties "We're observing a significant increase in interest from independent hoteliers, developers, and investors seeking to leverage the benefits and efficiencies of renovating and rebranding existing properties," says Jerome Briet, Chief Development Officer, Europe, Middle East & Africa, for Marriott International. Briet elaborates on the advantages of independent properties: "Joining our portfolio grants access to Marriott Bonvoy, our robust loyalty program, along with our extensive sales and marketing platforms and global customer base. This, in turn, allows Marriott to further expand the breadth of its brand offerings, catering to a wider range of guest and member preferences. Notably, we're witnessing growing momentum across The Luxury Collection, Autograph Collection, and Tribute Portfolio brands. These brands provide a unique opportunity for independent properties to retain their distinct identity and personality while harnessing the power of Marriott's global network." Marriott's strategic approach to European expansion through conversions and adaptive reuse projects signifies a win-win scenario for both the company and independent property owners. It unlocks growth opportunities for Marriott while allowing existing hospitality establishments to revitalize their offerings and tap into a broader customer base.

Sheraton Manila Celebrates 5th Anniversary with We Jive at Five Gala Dinner and Let's G Campaign

A night of gathering, appreciation, and new beginnings unfolded at the Sheraton Ballroom last January 25, 2024 as Sheraton Manila Hotel celebrated its 5th anniversary with the We Jive at Five gala dinner. Everyone was dressed to impress as Sheraton Manila and Marriott Manila executives welcomed the new year with several exciting promotions and campaigns.

The Hungry Kat was invited to join the festivities as Sheraton Manila Hotel officially celebrated its 5th anniversary with its distinguished guests, VIPs, and associates. We had always been a part of Sheraton Manila's journey ever since it opened its doors in 2019. My husband even surprised me with his wedding proposal at the hotel's newly-opened Oori Korean Restaurant in 2020. That's why we were happy to be part of this very special evening for Sheraton Manila.

Sheraton Manila Hotel stands tall as "The World's Gathering Place" and proudly declares its identity as the dwelling "Where the World comes together" as it celebrates its 5th anniversary. The unveiling of the official emblem, "Meaningful Jive beyond Five," revels its momentous milestones and heralds a new chapter in the hotel's legacy.

Crafted with a mission to exude a celebratory and vibrant personality while maintaining the brand's upscale image, the newly unveiled emblem is a visual masterpiece. The design elements are meticulous — a color palette representing the 5 key immersive pillars, a harmonious integration of 'S' for Sheraton and '5' for the fifth anniversary, and dynamic strokes symbolizing movement and progress. The Sheraton Manila's official 5th year logo is not just an icon; it is a symbol of Sheraton Manila Hotel's commitment to delivering a celebratory experience.

Sheraton Manila Hotel’s General Manager Anna Vergara gave her opening remarks to start the night's programme. “Over the past five years, Sheraton Manila has become more than just a hotel; it is a symbol of world-class hospitality, a sanctuary of luxury, and a haven of shared experiences. Each milestone has etched itself into the story of our victories.”

But the celebration does not stop there. Sheraton Manila Hotel invites you to partake in a year-long journey, a hotel-wide campaign titled "Let's G!: Sheraton Manila Hotel's Meaningful Jive Beyond Five." This immersive experience is a curated celebration that promises to delight your senses, unfolding across various touchpoints throughout the hotel.  Let's G! is not just a milestone celebration; it is a journey symbolized by the acronym "5G." Each immersive pillar offers a unique facet of celebration. Embark on a culinary journey with gourmet delights with “Let’s GO!” an elevated culinary experience by Sheraton Manila Hotel's culinary team. From breakfast buffets to elegant in-room dining options, every meal is surely an exquisite experience with the latest offers and experiences in store for diners and guests. “Let’s GROW!” or Sustainable Crafted Dining incorporates Sheraton's unwavering commitment to sustainability through responsibly sourced ingredients.

Sheraton Manila’s celebration aims to also highlight its wellness-focused amenities and spa treatments designed to rejuvenate your senses through “Let’s GLOW!” or holistic wellness retreat. With Sheraton's recreation offerings in its signature Shine Spa, it promises a holistic experience, ensuring an enriching stay. Purposeful gatherings are one of the goals and Sheraton Manila wants every stay and experience to be a catalyst for community initiatives as a portion of the proceeds from this year’s efforts goes to local causes, making a meaningful impact in the community in every stay through “Let’s GIVE!” immersive pillar. Socialize in style & comfort in every quality moment and sophisticated gathering that happens in every spacious premium room and versatile event spaces at Sheraton Manila Hotel. The “Let’s GLEE!” pillar that evokes specially curated preparations for banquets, meetings, weddings, and social events to ensure lasting memories that is Beyond Happiness as everyone comes together at “The World’s Gathering Place.” 

The pillars are thoughtfully integrated into the year-long efforts, each bringing its own flavor to the celebration. "ELEVATE" from January to April focuses on culinary excellence, sustainability, and premium rooms. "ILLUMINATE" takes center stage from May to August, brightening every experience with culinary excellence, sustainability, and wellness. Finally, "CELEBRATE" from September to December adds festive celebrations, community impact, and social gatherings to the mix. 

Live musical performances were part of the evening's spectacle as talented young artists entertained the crowd with their talents.

Now it's time to enjoy the five special courses prepared by Sheraton Manila's culinary team.

We started with the Beetroot Cylinder appetizer from Sheraton Manila's In-Room Dining which transfors your space into a gourmet haven. This vibrant dish comes with goat cheese mousse, sous vide heirloom beets, and microgreens. Elevate your stay with a symphony of flavors, exclusively designed for you.

Next is a soup dish called the Boyangsik from Oori Korean Restaurant. Savor the rich, sustainable goodness of a traditional Korean soup crafted with locally sourced organic ingredients.

I really liked the Atlantic Salmon from The Lounge. Indulge in a perfectly pan-fried salmon on Lyonaise potatoes, complemented by a delicate Clam Nage.

Our main course was the Brasato Al Vino Rosso from S Kitchen. This is a slow-cooked beef cheeks in a rich red wine jus, velvety Celeriac Mousseline, and crispy fried leeks which create a mouthwatering experience.

Lastly for dessert, we had a taste of the Strawberry Cheesecake from the Pinas Muna Hub on the lobby floor. This is a divine blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and vanilla extract.

There was also an open bar to make the evening even more memorable. Cocktails were served including Manila Quench, Lychee and Orange Blush, Banana Basil Smash, Clarified Hazelnut Colada, and Pink Moscatto Sangria.

As the year unfolds, Sheraton Manila Hotel promises to continue giving guests more reasons to "G" and gather in 2024. The meaningful jive beyond five resonates through every experience, making each moment at Sheraton Manila Hotel a gathering celebration. For more information about Sheraton Manila Hotel, you can visit their website at www.sheratonmanila.com or follow their social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter at @sheratonmanila.
