hotel-adjacent schemes favoured by major brands

Major hotel groups including Marriott and Hilton underwrite hotel and residential components separately, with co-located developments the preferred model. Standalone branded residence schemes face greater scrutiny around brand alignment and long-term operational sustainability.
