Marriott completes Elegant acquisition

Marriott International has completed its acquisition of Elegant Hotels Group for $130 million. The buy is a part of Marriott's growth strategy in Caribbean all-inclusives.

Elegant is now a wholly owned Marriott subsidiary, and the company has ceased trading on the London Stock Exchange’s AIM market.

Elegant has seven hotels in Barbados, some of which operate as all-inclusives. When Marriott announced the acquisition in October, the company said it planned to renovate the Elegant hotels and operate all of them as all-inclusive resorts under a Marriott brand.
