4/16/2007
DC -Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE:MAR) today announced the opening of its first Courtyard by Marriott hotel in El Salvador with the opening of the 133-room Courtyard by Marriott San Salvador Hotel. The hotel opened under a management agreement with Caribe Hospitality El Salvador. It is the first Courtyard-branded hotel to open in El Salvador and the third to open in Central America.
“We are delighted by the continued growth of our Courtyard by Marriott brand both in Central America and around the world. We are especially proud to introduce this widely acclaimed hotel brand in El Salvador,” said Alex Stadlin, Marriott’s area vice president for operations in Central America.
The general manager is Julia Bennett. The Courtyard by Marriott San Salvador Hotel is currently offering a rate of $109.00 USD per night plus all applicable taxes.
The hotel is conveniently located adjacent to La Gran Via lifestyle center, a new upscale entertainment complex in San Salvador, which offers guests a wide variety of local dining and shopping options.
For dining, the Courtyard by Marriott San Salvador Hotel offers La Puerta del Sol restaurant, serving breakfast daily, as well as a comfortable lobby bar for guests to enjoy cocktails and evening fare. The hotel also offers a 24-hour market. For social events and conferences, the hotel features four meeting rooms for a total of 238-square meters of space. Recreational amenities include an outdoor swimming pool and fitness center.
Marriott introduced its Courtyard brand in 1983. Since then, it has grown to be Marriott’s largest brand, and the world’s 13th largest lodging chain with 700 hotels in 24 countries and territories. It is aimed at business and leisure travelers who want consistent, high-quality accommodations and services at moderate, affordable prices. Over the years, Courtyard by Marriott hotels have been the leading choice in their category.
The Courtyard by Marriott brand is currently represented in Central America by two hotels; the Courtyard by Marriott San Jose in Costa Rica and the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Punta Pacifica in Panama.
