Aimbridge Hospitality plans to open and manage two Marriott resorts at Frenchman’s Reef on St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, this fall as part of a franchise agreement with Marriott International brands.<\/p>\n
The two properties will be the $350 million Westin Beach Resort & Spa at Frenchman’s Reef and the Seaborn at Frenchman’s Reef, Autograph Collection.<\/p>\n
The Westin will occupy the space of the original Frenchman’s Reef, long a Marriott signature property on an elevated peninsula on St. Thomas. That property has been closed since the devastating hurricanes of 2017; reconstruction of the resort was suspended in March 2020 following the arrival of Covid.<\/p>\n
