Delta Hotels’ New Ventures in Italy
Delta Hotels, a Marriott brand, has announced four new hotels. Three are in Campania, and one is in Milan. The Campania properties are managed by Pinewood Hotels. These include Resort Marina di Castello in Castel Volturno, a 4-star hotel with 270 rooms; Hotel Plaza Caserta, a 4-star hotel with 312 rooms; and Inn Naples Airport in Gricignano di Aversa, a 3-star hotel with 122 rooms.
Plaza Caserta and Inn Naples Airport are already listed on Marriott’s website as part of the Marriott Bonvoy program. However, these hotels are currently being upgraded to meet Delta Hotels’ standards. They will officially join the “Delta Hotels by Marriott” portfolio by late 2024 or early 2025.
