Here is a hotel brand name that you probably recognize. The Marriott Port-au-Prince Hotel is in the city of Port-au-Prince, which is the capital of Haiti. If you want a four-star hotel that feels like a five-star hotel, then you’ll want to stay at the Marriott Port-au-Prince. It is a large facility with deluxe accommodations all around.
Marriott is one of the largest hotel brands in the world. It operates more than 500 hotels and 200,000 rooms under its brand name. The only Marriott in Haiti is in Port-au-Prince. The hotel staff members speak English and French.
Marriott is a well-known hotel chain, and now there’s one to call home in Haiti. It’s located in the national capital, and guests can expect the same high standards as they would in all Marriotts around the world. Not sure whether you’ll choose the Marriott for your trip? Here are a few reasons why you should consider it.
Reviews
The Marriott is not exactly some old-fashioned Haitian hotel on the beach with 20 rooms. It is more of a commercialized hotel with 175 rooms and all the accommodations you could ever want. The restaurants serve delicious food, and the staff members are friendly and helpful. If you have a room on an upper floor, you will have a great view of the city.
It takes between 10 to 20 minutes to get to the Marriott from Toussaint Louverture International Airport. A shuttle surface can take you between these two locations roundtrip, but for a surcharge. The Marriott is in a central location in the city, so you don’t need to rent a car. Everything worth seeing is within walking distance of the hotel.
You could take a one-minute walk to restaurants like La Sirene or Café Cho. If you don’t mind walking for 15 minutes or so, you could visit the National Pantheon Museum, National Palace, Champs de Mars Square, Stade Sylvio Cator, and the Museum of Haitian Art.
The Excellent Location
Location is key, and at the Marriott you have guaranteed access to plenty of places of interest. Situated in the Turgeau District, guests will be close to the MUPANAH Museum, Petion-ville, Marche en Fer Market and a variety of swimming and hiking areas. Plus, the hotel is only 5 miles from the international airport.
Standards are high at the Marriott, and the rooms reflect that in every amenity.
Amenities
The Marriott spoils its guests with amenities. You will have access to a fitness center, outdoor swimming pool, free Wi-Fi internet, free wired internet, snack bar, coffee shop, bar & lounge, flatscreen television, cable channels, bottled water, newspapers, coffeemakers, hairdryers, toiletries, shower, tub, housekeeping, and room service.
A lot of business people use the Marriott to host their clients and stakeholders. The hotel includes a business center with six different meeting rooms and a 1000-square foot conference center. If you need to do any business in Haiti, the Marriott will provide the best amenities for it.
The Luxurious Rooms
Standards are high at the Marriott, and the rooms reflect that in every amenity. Rooms feature Haitian décor and artwork to bring a little culture into your life, in addition to mountain or city views. The mattress and pillows are soft and cozy, and guests can relax in bed as they watch the LCD TV. Get some work done over the high-speed internet, or relax with a bottle of wine chilled in the in-room fridge.
The Dining Options
You won’t go hungry here, as a restaurant, café and bar are all on site. Stop by the café for a hearty deli sandwich or to grab a quick breakfast on your way out the door. The chic bar has small plates and craft cocktails, while the restaurant offers international and Haitian dishes.
The Fitness Center
Don’t let your fitness take a backseat get while you’re on vacation. Keep up with your health routine at the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool or by using the free weights and cardio machines in the center.
Wedding Space
The Marriott Port-au-Prince Hotel is the ideal place to have a large and extravagant wedding ceremony. It has up to four event rooms available in which you can use for the wedding ceremony and reception. The total event space is 9,074 square feet, and it can hold up to 600 people. There are even three breakout rooms as well.
Of course, you probably don’t have 600 people to invite to your wedding, so you won’t need to reserve anywhere near that many seats for the event. However, there is still plenty of room to have a large wedding with lots of tables, flowers, decorations, music, and catered food services. The hotel will take care of all these things for you.
For the reception hall, you can rent some high-tech AV equipment for playing videos and slideshows of scenes from the wedding. You probably won’t find too many other Haitian venues that go to such great lengths with their wedding services.
