A hotel that is beginning to turn heads in Tijuana is the recently acquired Tijuana Marriott. Brought into the Marriott family in June of 2007, this elegant modern establishment (formerly Emporio Hotel Tijuana) is gaining a reputation among travelers for its spacious, spotless rooms many of which have balconies. With gleaming marble floors, minimalist decor, and views overlooking the golf course or city, Marriott Tijuana provides five-star elegance to its guests for a small fraction of the expected price.

Many travelers have reviewed this hotel with satisfaction, stating how nice it is while traveling in Tijuana to be able to rely on the superior standards that they would expect from a Marriott hotel in the United States. Staff members including the hotel manager are described by guests as friendly, dynamic, accommodating and very attentive to individual needs.

There are two bars and a restaurant on site, including the Arka Martini & Tapas Bar and Condimento Restaurant featuring authentic Mexican and international cuisine. The private Executive Lounge also serves more exotic fare including sushi, along with "American" breakfast and hors d'oeuvres daily. Other attractions include guest rooms wired for internet and wireless access throughout the public areas and meeting rooms, 24 hour security and free parking for guests.
