What's Happening in the Courtyard By Marriott Zone During Super Bowl Weekend

February 3, 2012 at 11:30 AM | by | Comments (0)

The Courtyard Greatness on the Road Zone at the NFL Experience in Indianapolis yesterday.

We've already told you how Courtyard by Marriott, an official sponsor of the NFL, was turning into a superfan for the Super Bowl XLVI this year but now that the Big Game weekend has officially kicked off we thought we'd check in with Janis Milham, Vice President and Global Brand Manager for Courtyard and get some on-the-scene reports from her.

"It is BUZZING," she said yesterday of the vibe in downtown Indianapolis. "There are people all over the place and it is just the first day. I can only imagine what it would be like on Saturday and Sunday."

Milham was sitting in the sports bar of the JW Marriott but she was about to head over to the NFL Experience at the Indianapolis Convention Center where NFL fans can gawk at the Vince Lombardi Trophy, step into a replica NFL locker room, see how far they can throw a spiral downfield and more. It's also where people can peep at the new Courtyard By Marriott lobbies at the Courtyard Greatness on the Road Zone.

Courtyard By Marriott Going All Out for Super Bowl XLVI

January 30, 2012 at 4:19 PM | by | Comments (0)

Back in October, we learned that Courtyard by Marriott Hotels were the places to be during football games as the hotel brand is the Official Sponsor of the NFL.

Aside from offering NFL-oriented rewards and experiences for Courtyard guests, some Courtyard hotels would also be holding viewing parties in their lobbies. Courtyard was even holding a contest to send one lucky winner to the Super Bowl.

While that opportunity may have passed for any of you desperate Pat or Giants fans, Courtyard is going Super Bowl crazy all this week.

For starters, Courtyard is giving out an autographed NFL football every day this week on Twitter until the Super Bowl. All you have to do is @CourtyardHotels on Twitter and tweet @courtyardhotels the Twitter pal you’re watching the Super Bowl with (e.g. @USERNAME) and the hashtag #HutHutWin for a chance to win. (Today's football comes from Dhani Jones, a former linebacker for the Bengals. Tomorrow will be Pierre Garcon, wide receiver for the Colts.)

Courtyard By Marriott is Courting Europe in a Major Way

November 22, 2011 at 12:05 PM | by | Comment (1)

Last year, we were tres excited by the opening of the Courtyard By Marriott in Paris as Paris is one of our favorite cities and Courtyard is one of our favorite budgie brands. Starting at 81 euros a night, we don't have to fret about spending all our money on a hotel room, just train rides into the center of town. (And sadly, on WiFi which is not gratis here as it is stateside.)

And it looks like Courtyard is tres excited about being in Europe as well since they are planning on adding 80,000 rooms in Europe by end of 2015. These rooms will also be brand-new room layouts, designed to be a "haven for business travelers" with 42" LCD TVs, ample work spaces, spa-like bathrooms and multiple, accessible outlets.

Downstairs in the lobbies, the European Courtyards will feature a hybrid of dining/meeting/relaxing layouts, very much like what we see in the U.S. right down to the 24-7 market, an all-day Bistro and the interactive GoBoards with the latest news, weather and local information.

Could a Hyatt Hotel Be Coming to South Beach?

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 3925 Collins Avenue [map], Miami Beach, FL, United States, 33140
November 9, 2011 at 11:33 AM | by | Comments (0)

Hersha Hospitality, the folks responsible for bringing Hyatt 48Lex and Hyatt Union Square to New York City, have just acquired a new property in Miami Beach--the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Beach Oceanfront. Hersha paid $95 million for the 263-room hotel and its adjacent beachfront which in its former life was known as the art deco hotel, Cadillac Hotel.

The full details of the purchase are here but Hersha does plan on building an additional 93-room all-suite oceanfront tower as well as more meeting space and a parking structure. The construction is expected begin next year and will finish in 2013.

All these fancy new upgrades have us wondering if Hersha will ditch the Courtyard by Marriott brand in favor of a Hyatt Hotel.

Courtyard by Marriott is Cashing in On Prince Harry's Overnight Stay

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 717 S Highway 101 [map], Solana Beach, CA, United States, 92075

Good grief. The Courtyard By Marriott Solana Beach might as well put a big sign out front that says, "PRINCE HARRY SLEPT HERE."

The hotel is now seriously considering renaming room 202 the Royal Suite after Prince Harry spent the night there (with a girl) last weekend. The hotel's general manager told The Daily Mail :

We have seen a surge in people wanting to stay in the hotel, and in that room, because of the recent stay. We're fielding a lot of calls and enquiries. 'We are looking at properly creating a royal package - it's being discussed internally. 'But just promoting that's the room he stayed in could be enough. People can stay in the same property, the same room, the same bed as the prince.

What Recession? 120 New Hotels Will Hit NYC By 2014

October 25, 2011 at 11:14 AM | by | Comments (0)

New York, get ready. If you were at all excited by the hotel openings in 2011 (Nolitan, Hyatt 48Lex, Mondrian Soho, Flatiron Hotel Toshi, and many more), then you're about to freak out. Bloomberg News is reporting on how hoteliers like Ian Schrager are snatching up development sites like hot cakes, favoring the development of new buildings rather than the rehabilitation of old ones, and generally just going hotel crazy. Schrager himself has bought one plot already, and hopes to purchase a second this year.

Sure, the income potential for hotels in NYC is high, but will we really need another 120 new properties by the end of 2014? Soon hotels will have outnumbered Starbucks! Of the many facts and figures referenced in the article, one in particular stood out to us: the country's woeful 9% unemployment rate, which many say will continue well into 2012.

Did He Or Didn't He? Prince Harry Continues Trysts At Courtyard By Marriott

That smile...those eyes

Though we certainly enjoyed speculating on Prince Harry's after-hours partying two weeks ago, we mostly just enjoyed seeing the 27-year-old enjoying a night out on the town. But the story doesn't end there.

A staff member at the Courtyard by Marriott Solana Beach is telling the The Daily Mail that Jessica Donaldson (the unnamed brunette from the Ivy) actually went to meet the Prince for a second time—and stayed the night at his hotel room on the second floor. Donaldson, who is still with her boyfriend of three years, denies such a thing ever happened, despite photos taken of them being intimate at another club in San Diego on a prior evening.

Apparently the duo forewent Andaz's super sexy suites in favor of a Marriott lobby makeout session. How romantic.

Are You Ready for Some...Courtyard by Marriott?

October 5, 2011 at 12:06 PM | by | Comments (0)

The NFL season is in full effect and if you're looking to hang out with people who follow the gridiron games as fervently as you do, then you might wanna consider hitting up a Courtyard by Marriott.

The budget hotel brand has just announced that it is now "The Official Hotel Sponsor of the NFL" claiming that 83 percent of their customers are NFL fans. 83 percent! And 68 percent say they are "passionate fans", not just girls who watch Mark Sanchez and Tom Brady because they are cute.

Naturally, this new sponsorship means new NFL-oriented rewards and experiences. Forbes reports that there could be a contest to send one lucky winner to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis. There could also be chances to cash in Marriott Rewards points for NFL tickets or prizes. But best of all, Courtyard could be holding some official viewing parties at their hotels on Thursday and Monday nights--perfect for the road warriors who don't want to miss games.

They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Courtyard by Marriott in Bali

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: Kawasan Pariwisata Lot SW1, Bali, Indonesia, 80363

We have nothing against Courtyard By Marriott Hotels. In fact, we quite like these places as they now sport stylish lobbies (some with media pods) with tasty cafe fare and the internet is free in the public space. But if we're going to make the trek to an exotic place like Bali, we're not so sure we'd want to stay at Courtyard. Yet, the option is there.

The newest Courtyard has opened in Bali Nusa Dua and features 250 guestrooms with 32-inch LCD, your choice of rainshowers or deep soaking tubs in the bathrooms, a private balcony or terrace and even robes and slippers.

The hotel is not on the beach but the website promises the waters of the Indian Ocean are just a 10-minute stroll from the hotel. Should you want some immediate hydration, the hotel has its own lagoon swimming pool.

And as for those cafes we love so much? They get a different twist here:

Marriott Central Park Will Be The Tallest Hotel In New York

Where: 1717 Broadway [map], New York, NY, United States, 10019
January 5, 2011 at 12:04 PM | by | Comments (4)

NYC has seen a lot of boutique hotel action in recent years, but looking forward, the future looks big. As in, big chains and huge hotel construction projects, from the new Park Hyatt set for 57th Street to the overhaul of Penn Station. Next up: a Marriott Hotels tower that will become the tallest hotel in the city.

As our friends at Curbed report, the two-in-one hotel tower will rise 67 stories over Broadway--at 54th Street.

A Room In Soho For $200 a Night? Yep, Now The Courtyard By Marriott Is Open

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 181 Varick Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10014

It was meant to open in the fall, but hey, at least it made it before Christmas. While Harlem continues to wait for its Aloft, Soho gets itself a new hotel this week, with the Courtyard By Marriott Soho opening yesterday.

While the hotel lacks the design chops of its luxey-luxe neighbors, it should give people wanting to stay in Soho a much more affordable option. Not tonight, however, when the room rates at the new Courtyard start at $349 a night.

Weekend rates are more like $299 a night this month and if you want to spend Christmas downtown, the rates are just $199 a night. We also checked on weekdays in January, to get a better idea of what the regular rates will be here, and found an advance purchase rate of $220 a night. In this 'hood, that's a bargain.
