Marriott International announced the opening of the 140-room Courtyard by Marriott Leon at the Poliforum, expanding the brand’s roster of Mexico properties to nine and solidifying the country’s position as the most important Latin American market for Marriott’s leading mid-tier hotel brand. The stunning hotel is located conveniently near the Poliforum Leon Convention and Exhibition Center, Leon Airport, Leon Stadium, Explora Science Center, Centro Max Shopping Center and the city’s main industrial parks. Recreational amenities at the hotel include an outdoor pool.
“From the refreshing, open business lobbies to our modern and spacious guest rooms, both the Courtyard by Marriott Leon at the Poliforum and the Courtyard by Marriott Toluca Tollocan offer business and leisure guests excellent space and flexibility to optimize their stay,” said Lita Aguirre, General Manager of the Courtyard by Marriott Leon.
Like all new Courtyard by Marriott properties, the Leon properties are entirely smoke-free and feature the brand’s signature refreshing business lobby, providing travelers with free Wi-Fi and spaces to work or relax with a variety of flexible seating options. The hotel offers modern, comfortable rooms, including rooms for guests with disabilities, with contemporary workspaces, safe deposit boxes, LCD televisions and deluxe bedding. Centro Bistro, the brand’s premiere restaurant, offers a flavorful menu with local and international cuisine and is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. Room service is available 24 hours a day, as is The Market for quick, on-the-go meals. Complimentary high-speed Internet is provided in all guest rooms, meeting rooms and business centers, and the property’s state-of-the-art fitness centers.
“Mexico’s growing middle class and booming economy have generated tremendous demand for mid-priced hotel properties,” said Craig Smith, President of the Caribbean & Latin America at Marriott International. “The steady expansion of the Courtyard by Marriott brand in Mexico validates the recognition of the brand’s top-notch style, service and comfort at an affordable price.”
