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.

Aside from giving travelers (and Marriott Rewards members) more options in Europe, Boscolo will bring more unique, independent options, outside of the typical Marriott model, to the Autograph Collection.

In Rome, this means a hotel on the Via Veneto designed in the 1920s, fresh from a top-to-bottom reno (Boscolo Palace Roma). In Venice, it's a 72-room hotel in the former French embassy building, with its own private park. The Boscolo Prague is inside the former HQ of the Czech postal service, and the soaring Boscolo Budapest, pictured above, was built in 1894.

We hear that the Autograph Collection isn't stopping its, uh, collecting, anytime soon either. It's expected to have up to 40 independent properties in its portfolio by the end of this year.
