January 6, 2011 - Courtyard by Marriott is rolling out its new lobby and room design in Warner Robins, Georgia. This is the first Courtyard in the area featuring the “refreshing business” makeover. The 106-room Courtyard Warner Robins opened on Friday, December 17, 2010. Located at 589 Carl Vinson Parkway, the hotel will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by Peachstate Hospitality, LLC.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the Courtyard Warner Robins offers guests convenient access to the Warner Robins Air Force Base, the Museum of Aviation, the Georgia National Fairgrounds, the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame and the Tubman African American Museum. Rates begin at $139 per night.

Courtyard by Marriott was the first lodging brand exclusively designed for business travel by business travelers. And now it has completely redefined the hotel lobby experience. This Marriott International (NYSE:MAR) “power brand” is fast-tracking its lobby makeover. The rest of the world is also getting a chance to experience the new lobby by visiting www.gocourtyard.com - a highly interactive website.

“From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to what business travelers want from a hotel,” said Janis Milham, vice president, Global Brand Manager, Courtyard by Marriott. “Guests want more control and choice with services and amenities that create a healthy balance between working and relaxing. We redefined the Courtyard lobby so it invites guests to get out of their rooms to work, socialize or for entertainment, whether traveling alone or with colleagues.”

The open, bright and contemporary new Courtyard hotel lobby welcomes guests with vivid contrasting colors, including blue, green, orange and red. The traditional front desk is replaced with separate welcome pedestals to create more personal and private interactions when guests check in. This will allow staff to move about to show guests the lobby features and provide assistance. Flexible seating options range from a communal table in the middle of the action, to more private media booths with high-definition televisions, to a more intimate, semi-enclosed lounge area.

A signature element of the new lobby is the exclusive GoBoard® technology, a 57-inch LCD touch screen packed with local information, maps, weather, and news, business and sports headlines. Guests can navigate using the touch screen to find restaurants, local attractions and directions.

Guests can connect to free WiFi and there are ample electrical outlets throughout the lobby to power digital devices. The enlarged business library features several complimentary computer terminals along with a free printer and separate computer stations dedicated to printing airline boarding passes and checking flight status.

Dining has been completely redesigned with The Bistro - Eat. Drink. Connect.; offering casual, flexible seating; easier access to food and higher quality, healthier menu options for breakfast; and light evening fare, including snacks, wine and beer so guests can unwind.

The four-story hotel features The Bistro restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, an indoor swimming pool with whirlpool spa, fitness center, guest laundry, business center and The MarketÔ, a 24/7 shop for snacks, beverages and sundries. The hotel also offers 4,800 square feet of total meeting space to accommodate meetings or functions of up to 216 people.
