Señor Bill Says: Hola, Bienvenido a Marriott!

After releasing some scary second-quarter earnings reports this week, Marriott Hotels have decided to counter the bad news with some muy bueno news: Bill Marriott and co. plans to triple their presence in Mexico over the next five years.

The deal would add 29 branded Marriott hotels in Mexico for a total investment of more than $1 billion by the owners of the properties, the company said in a statement. There are currently 16 hotels and resorts in Mexico operating under Marriott brands such as Courtyard, Residence Inn and JW Marriott.

So what does this mean for hotel guests? Well, if you have a penchant for Mexico (which is way cheaper than Europe), join up for the Marriott Rewards program because chances are wherever you want to go in Mexico, there will be a Marriott to check-in to. Also we wonder: could an Edition Mexico be in the works as well?

Note: Bill Marriott did not really don a sombrero for this announcement.

As we all learned from the O.C., when times are tough.... go to Mexico.
