Another Tri-Pack Hotel is Now Two-Thirds Open in Times Square

Go To The Hotel's Web Site Where: 326 West 40th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10018

How could we forget that the Tri-Pack hotel in Times Square would have some competition. We got a press release today saying that the Four Points Times Square has opened. When we checked our archives to see what else we have written about this hotel, we found this story which focused largely on Gene Kauffman's Tri-Pack Hotel.

However, we also wrote that he was working on a similar packaged hotel at 40th street that would include "a Four Points by Sheraton, Fairfield Inn and Staybridge Suites, each more than 30 stories tall." For clarity's sake we'll call this new one Tri-Pack BT (Business Travelers.) The other Tri-Pack will have the more budget-y brands of Holiday Inn, a Candlewood Suites and a Hampton Inn.

Now the Four Points is open at Tri-Pack BT but Staybridge Suites won't take guests until January 16, 2010. On the other hand the Fairfield Inn is already open with rooms at $199, making this Tri-Pack hotel two-thirds open.

And yes, that's a Starwood property, an ICH hotel and a Marriott brand all sharing the same space. (Btw for giggles, check out the Staybridge Suites rendering on their site which shows the building as a standalone.)

Marriott's Fairfield Inn & Suites has taken to YouTube to promote their bright, contemporary new look. And what they've come up with is actually pretty fun.

Fairfield enlisted a few pro D.C. United soccer players to star in the video, which features them playing an impromptu game of soccer in the lobby. (That’s right, the new lobby design is so hip, pro soccer players can’t resist playing ball in it!)

Fairfield Inn's Makeover: Now In Living Color

January 16, 2009 at 12:48 PM | by Jenna | 0 Comments

We brought you news of Marriott's Fairfield Inn & Suites brand getting a stylin' new look this week, and now we've got the results of the makeover live and in living color.

Check out this video, with more than a few shots of the room and the revamped lobby at the official unveiling of the brand's new look and kicked-up amenity offerings. Watch as wide-eyed guests get excited over the vibrant colors and iHomes!

Bonus: David Marriott weighs in on the "fresh, hip feel" of the new Fairfield.

As for when you can expect to check it all out for yourself: we're told there are 50 properties sporting the style now, and as hotels open and renovate in 2009, the number will grow. They've got about 180 new hotels in the pipeline for the upcoming years, and those properties will all have the new décor package when they open their doors.

Marriott's Fairfield Inn Brand Gets a Fly New Look

January 13, 2009 at 3:05 PM | by Jenna | 1 Comment

If you walk some of Marriott's Fairfield Inn properties, you may start to notice that some of them have a fly new look. We got word from the Marriott Twitter that the brand is getting a bit of a makeover to lend a bright, contemporary look to the hotel's spaces.

The refreshed lobbies will have lots of room for seating and socializing, plus a significantly breezier, more upbeat look, with blues, greens and reds dominating the decor. The yummy-looking complimentary breakfast offerings might put Fairfield in the running for the best budget hotel breakfasts we've been discussing lately, with "delicious breakfast sandwiches and healthy items like fruit, yogurt and whole grain cereals" (anyone tried these? Let us know!)
