Courtyard by Marriott
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Courtyard by Marriott is a brand of hotels owned by Marriott International. They have over 2,800 hotels worldwide, as of June 2007. Courtyard by Marriott is designed for business travelers. Its rooms feature large desks, couches, free high speed Internet access, and "big" breakfasts. Some locations have full-service restaurants, and all have 24-hour "mini-marts." It competes with other mid-priced business-oriented hotels like Wingate Inn and Hilton Garden Inn.
[edit] History
The first location was built in 1983 and was Marriott's first sister brand.
Marriott spent $2 billion in the mid-1980s on building out the Courtyard by Marriott chain in order to target Holiday Inn's clientele.[1]
