As part of the initiative, the hotel group recently announced that the company's Aloft Hotels, Autograph Collection, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Residence Inn, SpringHill Suites, TownePlace Suites and Tribute Portfolio brands will be among the first 19 development projects to receive assistance through the program. In addition to providing access to capital, Marriott also plans to utilize its relationships with seasoned hotel developers, operators and lenders to assist and support the projects.
