Extremely unusual to rebrand from Renaissance to Marriott, especially a historic property. My thoughts are that with the renovation the new owners are looking to change the name and image of a property which is perceived to have performed poorly for investors and for guests. Only other property I'm aware of to have made this switch is the Marriott Sydney Harbour.
