Cedar Park Marriott Sales Manager

Sales Manager Cedar Park Marriott Hotel and Conference Center Cedar Park, Texas

The Cedar Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center is set to debut in April 2027, and we are actively building the founding team that will launch one of the most anticipated hotel openings in the region. This landmark 297-room property will feature more than 30,000 square feet of premier meeting and event space, elevated dining experiences, and a culture of service excellence that reflects the very best of both PHG and Marriott.

Established in 2017, Prime Hospitality Group started with five Ruth’s Chris Steak House restaurants and swiftly grew to become the largest franchise group of the global brand with twelve current locations, and multiple other food and beverage concepts. In recent years, we have expanded to additional food and beverage concepts as well as into hotel hospitality space, creating a thriving collection of exciting service-oriented brands.

Our newest concept, Un Deux Trois, is a French inspired café serving the finest espresso drinks and French pastries. Prime Hospitality Group is proud to welcome the AC Marriott Chesterfield as the first fully managed hotel in our portfolio.

PHG is also excited to open the Cedar Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, a 297-room full-service hotel and conference center in the greater Austin market that will employ approximately 200 team members and serve as a premier hospitality destination. This addition marks an exciting new chapter as we bring our signature commitment to exceptional guest experiences into hotel management. We look forward to elevating this property with the same dedication, heart, and service-driven culture that define who we are.
