Boscolo Budapest, which joins the Autograph Collection in September

Never mind the brouhaha over Edition--Marriott is forging ahead with other partnerships, adding a clutch of posh European properties to its Autograph Collection.

The six newbies, all Boscolo Hotels, join the four Spanish hotels that came on board with Autograph in May, giving them a stronger European presence and even more historic, high-end hotels for guests to choose from.

Four of the new Boscolos will join in September--Boscolo Palace Roma and Boscolo Venezia in Italy, Boscolo Prague and Boscolo Budapest. The remaining two--Boscolo Exedra Roma and Boscolo Milano--will follow in 2012.
