Marriott International Inc. has been named as the brand partner for Century Group’s new hotel, a cornerstone of Surrey’s giant City Centre development.
The luxury Civic Hotel at 3 Civic Plaza will boast 144 rooms, convention space, restaurants and condominiums.
The hotel, Surrey’s first new high-rise hotel in more than two decades and part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, will generate 50 full-time jobs and the overall project has resulted in the creation of more than 200 jobs during the construction process, according to Century Group president Sean Hodgins.
The emerging City Centre complex also includes Surrey City Hall, the new civic library, condominiums and office space, as well as retail and an expansive central plaza that is to represent the new centre of B.C.’s fastest growing city. “[This hotel] will be a defining fixture of our downtown,” said Mayor Dianne Watts, who was on hand for the Marriott announcement.
“Autograph Collection is an expert curator of independent and extraordinary hotels,” explained Manlio Marescotti, vice-president of development for Marriott International.
Civic Hotel, designed by Vancouver-based Cotter Architects and Portland, Oregon-based ZGF Architects, reflects an international outlook and the city’s South Asian cultural influences, the developers say.
Civic Hotel at 3 Civic Plaza will begin construction in January 2014 with project completion expected in fall 2016.
