Courtyard has been a leader in lodging for more than 25 years by offering travelers the amenities they want while on the road.  Courtyard hotels in North America offer complimentary high speed Internet access and Wi-Fi in guest rooms and public spaces, giving guests the option to stay connected during their time away, or unplug and unwind if they choose.  Courtyard hotels also feature a 24-hour market where guests can purchase healthy snacks, drinks or sundries to replace items they may have forgotten to pack, as well as a pool and fitness center to help maintain fitness while on the road.

The popular brand is undergoing a system wide makeover, and is recognized as the perfect hotel choice for business and leisure travelers alike.  Nearly 140 Courtyard hotels now feature the popular Refreshing Business lobby concept, providing guests a refreshing and open environment to unwind and socialize after a long day of sightseeing.  These new lobbies feature enhanced food and beverage service at The Bistro – Eat.Drink.Connect.® with healthier, more extensive menu offerings as well as beer, wine and cocktails.

Another signature component of the new lobby is the interactive GoBoard® technology.  The 57-inch LCD touch screen allows guests to navigate through the latest news, sports and business headlines, local weather conditions and maps to find information about the surrounding area.  To learn more about Courtyard's reinvention, go to www.courtyard.com.
