Courtyard by Marriott Brand Continues to Expand with New Property in Hong Kong
Marriott International (NYSE:MAR) has opened its first Courtyard hotel and its fourth Marriott branded property in Hong Kong, the 245-room Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong, under a management agreement with Tsinlien Realty Ltd.
The general manager is Gary Fung. Loraine Berry is the director of marketing. Rates start at HK$1,550 (USD$199) per night.
The Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong is located on a harbor-front site in the Sai Ying Pan district on Hong Kong Island. The hotel is the first internationally branded, mid-tier hotel in Hong Kong. Conveniently situated near the Macau Ferry Pier, the hotel is located within easy access of the financial district in Central as well as the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in Wanchai. To assist guests with transportation in the city, the hotel offers the convenience of free shuttle bus service between the Sheung Wan, Central, Admiralty and Wanchai districts at selected hours.
Boasting 245 elegantly appointed guestrooms, the Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong offers luxury finishes superior to many upmarket hotels in Hong Kong. Each guestroom features marble appointed bathrooms with blissful rainforest showerheads, plush bed and bath linens, stylish oversized glass top work desks, and high-speed internet access. To ensure guests stay at peak performance, the hotel offers a full business center with two work stations, boardroom, executive lounge and 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center.
The hotel also features a wide range of delicious fare at its all-day dining restaurant, MoMo Café. For guests looking for a quick bite, the MoMo to Go offers healthy snacks and meals to take with them on the go. In-room dining is also available.
“We are thrilled to introduce the Courtyard brand to Hong Kong,” said Geoff Garside, executive vice-president for Marriott’s Asia-Pacific region. “I am confident that both leisure and business travelers to this vibrant city will welcome the addition of this exceptional and affordably priced new property. The Courtyard brand truly reflects today’s savvy traveler, and we expect the hotel to be a welcome addition to the community.”
Courtyard by Marriott hotels are designed for today’s business traveler who wants to make the most of their time on the road and desire consistent, high quality accommodations and services at affordable prices. The Courtyard guest balances achievement and productivity with enjoyment, and actively manages the demands of business travel with the pursuit of personal time. The hotel serves as the traveler’s personal base to refresh and recharge as they seek out new experiences in their location and make the most out of their time on the road. Introduced more than 20 years ago, the Courtyard by Marriott brand is now Marriott’s largest brand with almost 800 properties worldwide and ranks as the 13th largest lodging brand in the world.
