The hotel opened on February 15, 2011, days before the Libyan Civil War began.[1] It closed just two weeks later and the hotel's few guests and 185 staff were evacuated by Marriott on a chartered plane to Amman.[2]
Marriott stated in April 2011 that they hoped to reopen the hotel at some point.[3] In 2013, the hotel's co-owners, the Libyan government Economic and Social Development Fund and South Korean-based Daewoo Engineering & Construction announced their hope to reopen the hotel in 2014.[4] In 2021, the owners again announced plans to reopen the hotel.[5] As of 2024, it remains closed.
