The open, bright and contemporary 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 and allow staff 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.

Dining is redesigned with The Bistro - Eat. Drink.

Coffee lovers also can enjoy freshly brewed Starbucks coffee.

Designed with today's busy traveler in mind, the award-winning GoBoard® features mobile integration, enabling guests to send directions from the GoBoard® directly to their smart phones. Guests also can touch the screen for immediate access to detailed flight information for local airports, popular entertainment and local event information, as well as walking directions.
