Marriott International and Hilton Worldwide announced aggressive growth plans for the next several years, both in the U.S. and abroad.
Hilton Worldwide, which is opening or has opened 70 hotels this year and next, is almost doubling the number of properties in its Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand over the next three years, with 14 hotels in the pipeline, including one in New York City.
At a recent conference in New York, Marriott announced that it expects to add as many as 90,000 hotel rooms to its portfolio between 2011 and 2013.
