Marriott International's flagship brand, Marriott Hotels and Resorts, has revealed plans for its first hotel in Voronezh, Russia - a city located 500km (311 miles) south of Moscow.

Due to open its doors in 2015, the 220-bedroom Voronezh Marriott Hotel is to be operated by the international group under a management agreement with Ojsc Tsum-Voronezh.

It will form part of a mixed-use development on Prospekt Revolyutsii and include facilities such as a health club with fitness centre, sauna, steamroom and spa treatment rooms.

Further details are yet to be confirmed, although the property will also house a column-free ballroom, a dedicated business centre and 660sq m (7,104sq ft) of meeting space.

Amy McPherson, president and managing director of Marriott International in Europe, said: "We are thrilled to announce this great new addition to our portfolio in Russia.

"We currently operate 14 hotels across Russia and see tremendous opportunity for continued growth across all of our brands in this incredible market."
