“This property represents the first ground-up Marriott hotel to open in northern Broward County in 15 years,” said Tyler Morse, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of MCR. “We appreciate the support Marriott has provided MCR throughout the development, and look forward to welcoming the community of Pompano Beach and North Broward to our beautiful new hotel.”

According to Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitor Bureau, Broward County welcomed 12.27 million domestic visitors in 2016, up four percent from 2015.
