Marriott's Tribute Portfolio Debuts in Buenos Aires
Tribute Portfolio, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, marks its debut in Buenos Aires with the opening of Recoleta Grand, Buenos Aires, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel. Located in the dynamic Recoleta district - known for its European charm and cultural richness - the property joins Tribute Portfolio's growing family of characterful, independent hotels around the world.
Nestled in the heart of Recoleta, a storied neighborhood affectionately known as "La París Argentina," Recoleta Grand invites guests to discover the cultural and architectural spirit of Buenos Aires through a singular lens of bold design and vibrant local storytelling. Embodying Tribute Portfolio's ethos of captivating design, the hotel draws inspiration from the bohemian charm and literary richness that define its surrounding district, blending early 20th-century grandeur with a modern indie sensibility. The hotel's 142 guest rooms, including 6 eclectic suites, feature layered interiors designed by local designer Lucas Gashu that honor porteña culture and French influence through a thoughtful mix of textures, art, and bespoke details.
From check-in to last call, the hotel brings to life an enchanting literary and cultural narrative that resonates throughout the experience. Literature is a core theme, with complimentary bilingual books in every guest room and curated vintage collections throughout the hotel's communal spaces. Guests are invited to explore the city through its stories, creating a sense of discovery that extends beyond the hotel walls.
Dining experiences at The Recoleta Grand reflect a bold fusion of local identity and culinary heritage, led by Executive Chef Maximiliano Matsumoto, whose refined yet approachable style blends Argentine ingredients with contemporary flair and subtle oriental influences. Born in Buenos Aires, Matsumoto trained under celebrated chef Germán Martitegui and honed his craft in some of the most iconic kitchens including Faena, Olsen, Casa Cruz, and Tegui.
Café de Prensa celebrates Buenos Aires' literary scene with specialty coffee and unique design that is inspired by the written word. The Atrium serves as an elegant, all-day bistro rooted in local flavors. Mansión Mihura, a preserved historical corner of majestic Buenos Aires, where spaces like La Maga, Rayuela, and Serpent Club coexist - features bold, author-driven cuisine in immersive spaces inspired by Latin American literature. Design of this space was led by internationally acclaimed studio EDG Interior Architecture + Design, who brought a layered vision to life by fusing historical elegance with modern expression.
At the helm of the hotel's cocktail program is Ignacio Maggio, one of Argentina's most respected mixologists and the first Argentine to win the prestigious World Class Argentina competition in 2017. With over a decade of experience, Maggio has shaped award-winning bar programs across Latin America, including Acorde Bar in Ecuador, recognized on the 50 Best Discovery list for its immersive fusion of cocktails, music, and art. At Recoleta Grand, he brings a distinctive blend of technical precision, cultural storytelling, and creative flair—crafting cocktails that transcend the glass and invite guests on a sensory journey through Argentina's rich landscape of flavor and tradition.
The hotel also features 3,700 square feet of flexible event space across four spacious meeting rooms, as well as a rooftop terrace, Floralis Spa, executive lounge, and fully equipped fitness center.
Housed in the historic Palacio Mihura, the building's early 20th-century facade and intricate typography pay homage to Recoleta's artistic and architectural roots. Situated near cultural landmarks such as the National Museum of Fine Arts and Recoleta Cultural Center, the hotel offers guests a front-row seat to the neighborhood's timeless elegance and ever-evolving spirit. As part of its mission to serve as a cultural hub for locals and travelers alike, Recoleta Grand is also developing a dynamic calendar of on-site activations. Guests can look forward to rotating and permanent art installations, literary pop-ups and editorial events at Café de Prensa, gastronomic experiences, as well as curated collaborations with local artists, publishers, and chefs. Additionally, a vinyl collection will be available for guests to enjoy, adding a nostalgic yet elevated sensory layer to the hotel's immersive experience.

Marriott International Introduces MARRIOTT MEDIA, a New Media Network Shaped for the Traveler
Marriott International today announced the launch of MARRIOTT MEDIA, signaling change and a new chapter in how brands engage with consumers across the traveler journey. MARRIOTT MEDIA is a media network shaped for the traveler. Different from traditional media networks, MARRIOTT MEDIA puts the customer and the travel journey at the center – connecting relevant brands with customers at the right time, across digital and physical touchpoints, and with a contextually relevant message. By using first-party data and 200+ targetable attributes across the nearly 237-million member Marriott Bonvoy program and from Marriott's lodging portfolio comprised of nearly 9,500 properties globally, MARRIOTT MEDIA helps enable targeting by combining demographic information with guest behavior, travel intent, and traveler passions. Thoughtful design of messaging and creative, coupled with targeted audience selection and robust measurement capability across the marketing funnel, will offer marketers campaign performance with closed loop attribution. Guest data is used responsibly and in accordance with all applicable regulations. The platform is consent-based, with easy opt-out options for guests, providing transparency and trust. Today's travelers expect personalization and welcome thoughtful discovery. MARRIOTT MEDIA is designed to enrich, not interrupt, serving guests content, recommendations, and offers in ways that feel natural, relevant, and aligned with their travel experience. I'm excited to announce Chris Norton, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Data Activation & Personalization, will lead this bold initiative and serve as the General Manager for MARRIOTT MEDIA. Peggy Roe, Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at Marriott International Norton added: Our goal is to offer select brand partners the opportunity to create deeper engagement with customers through the lens of travel and our brands. Through sophisticated measurement, including brand lift and awareness studies, attributable conversions, and advanced modeling, we empower our brand partners to align their campaigns with our travelers, ensuring meaningful engagement at every touchpoint . Working with select brands, MARRIOTT MEDIA will curate brand experiences across Marriott-owned digital platforms such as and the Marriott Bonvoy app, placement within the room and stay experience, third-party websites, and social platforms. MARRIOTT MEDIA collaborated with select brands for an initial pilot including PepsiCo., Visa, United Airlines, Uber, Starbucks, F1® THE MOVIE, Audible, American Express and Resy. The ability to engage with travelers on a connected journey through digital and physical touchpoints and its seamless integration model sets the network apart. MARRIOTT MEDIA bridges advertiser content and native Marriott content, making it possible for brand messaging to engage guests in high-trust, high-attention spaces, from curated pre-arrival recommendations to bespoke in-room experiences and post-stay reengagement. This media model allows marketers to move fluidly with customers at points in the journey when they are most interested in relevant content and new discovery, serving not only impressions but compelling offers and memorable touchpoints. One of MARRIOTT MEDIA's most compelling placements is alongside Marriott Bonvoy's original content shown on Marriott Bonvoy TV. Doubling down on the power of storytelling, this longer form placement gives brands a unique opportunity to connect, through narrative that engages travelers with in-room content throughout their stay. With a portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands that is loved by many of the most loyal and highest-spending travelers in the world, MARRIOTT MEDIA offers marketers access to travelers who stay longer, spend more, and are deeply engaged with the brands they trust. For media buyers and brand strategists, hospitality media is no longer an ancillary channel, it's poised to become a growth engine. With plans to scale the network into global markets, MARRIOTT MEDIA's emphasis on authenticity will remain a key differentiator. Experiences will be localized, cultural context will be prioritized, and brand safety will be implemented, by design, as branded content is curated for the Marriott traveler journey.
