During its first month of operation, the hotel reached an occupancy rate of 40%, and a 55% occupancy rate is projected for the first half of the year. These figures demonstrate the positive reception of the project, its impact on the market, and the dynamism of the hotel sector nationwide.

The Courtyard by Marriott, part of the Sixstar Group, opened its doors to the public in January 2026 with an approximate investment of USD 7 million and the creation of 55 direct jobs during its first year of operation. The hotel boasts a strategic location, just steps from the Mariscal Sucre International Airport terminal.

This opening marks the arrival of the first Courtyard by Marriott in Quito and represents a new milestone for the SIXSTAR Hotels Group. With this addition, the group now operates a total of nine hotels in Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, and the Galápagos Islands, solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing and most diversified hospitality groups in the country.

This project, developed in partnership with Corporación Quiport, the concessionaire in charge of the comprehensive management of Quito Airport, is an initiative aimed at improving the overall travel experience. The hotel incorporates the latest standards of the Courtyard by Marriott brand, globally recognized for its contemporary design and practical approach.

Courtyard by Marriott Quito Airport features 84 rooms, flexible spaces for working or relaxing, coworking areas, a gym, a restaurant, and a bar, all designed to meet the needs of the modern traveler who prioritizes efficiency, comfort, and connectivity.

Florencia Burneo, General Manager, states that “this new hotel was created for those seeking an efficient, comfortable, and hassle-free travel experience. Our location within the airport allows us to offer a truly convenient option that aligns with the essence of Courtyard.”

For his part, Ramón Miró, President and CEO of Corporación Quiport, thanked the SIXSTAR Hotels Group for their confidence in Quito Airport. “We are

proud of the arrival of such a prestigious chain as Courtyard by Marriott at Mariscal Sucre Airport, which allows us to offer more service options to our passengers and tourists arriving in the city, with a hotel located just steps from the terminal.”

It is important to mention that the hotel is part of Marriott Bonvoy, an award-winning travel program from Marriott International, which allows its members to earn and redeem points for stays, exclusive experiences, and benefits within a portfolio of more than 30 brands worldwide.

This project has the backing and operational experience of Grupo SIXSTAR Hotels, an Ecuadorian hotel operator that combines international standards with highly specialized local execution. For its first month of operation, the hotel projects an occupancy rate of approximately 40%, as part of an orderly and responsible opening process, accompanied by a competitive and market-leading airport rate.

Looking ahead to 2026, Grupo SIXSTAR Hotels continues to consolidate its expansion under a vision of planned and sustainable growth. Starting in March, the group will add the Hotel El Dorado in Cuenca to its portfolio, adding 52 rooms and strengthening its presence in a destination with high development potential. Currently, SIXSTAR Hotels Group generates approximately 850 direct jobs, contributing to the country’s economic and social development through the creation of formal, sustainable employment and the continuous strengthening of human talent.
