Winnipeg, Manitoba - July 30, 2014 - The Courtyard by Marriott Winnipeg Airport is now open for business. Located just steps from the James Armstrong Richardson International Airport terminal, this new hotel features an innovative lobby space as well as Canada's first Courtyard Cynergy room design.

The six-story hotel features a 2,000 square foot state-of-the-art penthouse fitness centre featuring the latest Precor equipment, complimentary use of one of the highest hotel Internet bandwidths in Manitoba, a Starbucks barista bar in the lobby and over 1,800 square feet of on-demand meeting space to accommodate functions of up to 150 people.

The new room design is intuitive and thoughtful, offering flexible yet comfortable spaces that enable technology. Upon arrival, guests can store bags on the "Luggage Drop" and plug personal devices into the "Tech Drop" ledge for seamless technology integration.

Courtyard constantly researches trends and evolves to meet the changing needs of its guests. The latest room design offers hybrid zones for working, sleeping, relaxing and getting ready. Indirect lighting and a neutral, tone-on-tone colour palette makes for a soothing and calm environment.

"From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to business travellers," said Janis Milham, senior vice president, Modern Essentials and Extended Stay Brands. "Today's technology has changed how people travel. Our guests want a room that has purpose and flexibility that enables a seamless transition between relaxing and working. Courtyard is designed to offer them a relaxing and functional space to work the way they want to, when they want to."

Signature furniture and architectural elements replace traditional art in the new guestroom. The "LoungeAround" sofa offers a pop of colour and a comfortable area for relaxing or for working. The new design also features a light desk on wheels, allowing guests to work from anywhere in the room.

An upgraded, more spacious layout creates an enhanced bathroom experience. A "Shower Nook" housing shampoos and towels, makes amenities accessible without having to leave the shower.

The Courtyard by Marriott Winnipeg Airport also offers the Refreshing Business lobby environment, where guests can enjoy an open and bright area outside of their rooms. Along with media pods, complimentary Wi-Fi and a variety of seating zones. The redefined space is ideal for everything from pop-up meetings to social gatherings.
