Marriott opens 9,000th hotel. It’s $1,200 a night

Bethesda, Maryland-based Marriott International has opened its 9,000th hotel property with the St. Regis Longboat Key Resort in Florida.

The 18-acre property is on Longboat Key, off the coast of Sarasota. The 168-room property includes 26 suites with terraces, as well as 69 residences, all of which sold out in less than a year, according to Marriott.

The resort, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, has nightly room rates that average $1,200.

For that price, guests get a lot of resort.
