Marriott stated in April 2011 that they hoped to reopen the hotel at some point. 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. In 2021, the owners again announced plans to reopen the hotel. As of 2024, it remains closed.
