Marriott Hotels New Autograph Collection

Have you heard about Marriott’s new Autograph Collection, “a portfolio of upper-upscale and luxury independent hotels and resorts, each with distinctive personalities”? There are only 11 AC properties in the U.S. as of this writing, but there are plans to expand to “spa and lodge” and “urban edge” categories.

Hotels currently in the Autograph Collection include the Hotel Duval in Tallahassee, Florida; the El Monte Sagrado Hotel in Taos, New Mexico; and the Mansion of Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia. Of course, you can earn (or use!) Marriott Rewards when staying in any of these chic boutique hotels.

I’m looking forward to seeing which hotels join the AC family in the next round…
