Marriott International’s Autograph Collection Hotels, a curated portfolio of independent properties, will add four new hotels in Asia next year. Joining the collection are The Shanhaitian Resort Sanya in China, The Majestic Hotel and Hotel Stripes in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and RYSE hotel in Seoul, South Korea.
The Autograph Collection brings together distinctive independent hotels chosen for their design, craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each property offers a unique guest experience rooted in a strong sense of place, allowing travelers to discover hotels that feel personal, memorable and locally inspired.
Located on Hainan island in China’s Sanya region, The Shanhaitian Resort Sanya sits in the Da Dong Hai Bay area. The resort enjoys a shoreline setting with clear waters and scenic views while remaining close to the city. Its contemporary design and fashion-forward aesthetic emphasize style and self-expression, creating a modern tropical retreat for guests seeking both relaxation and refined design.
In Kuala Lumpur, The Majestic Hotel and Hotel Stripes present two very different yet complementary experiences. The Majestic Hotel, originally constructed in the 1930s, stands as an Art Deco landmark. It houses The Smoke House, a celebrated lounge and bar that includes a card and cigar room, a screening room, tailoring services and a gentleman’s grooming salon—elements that evoke classic luxury and historical character.
Hotel Stripes offers a contrasting urban energy. Situated in the lively Jalan Kamunting neighborhood, the hotel is surrounded by the city’s art and food scene, delivering a chic, contemporary base for exploring Kuala Lumpur’s creative culture. Its design and location appeal to travelers who want to be immersed in the city’s vibrant street life and culinary offerings.
In Seoul, RYSE hotel captures the spirit of the hip and artistic Hongdae district. Known for its youthful creativity and cultural buzz, the neighborhood informs the hotel’s aesthetic and programming, making RYSE a fitting addition for visitors seeking a dynamic, culturally engaged stay in South Korea’s capital.
Together these four openings expand the Autograph Collection’s presence across Asia, adding properties that highlight local traditions, architectural heritage and contemporary design. Each hotel contributes a distinct personality—whether rooted in historical elegance, modern beachfront living, urban chic or neighborhood-driven creativity—offering travelers more options to experience authentic, design-led hospitality in the region.
