SANTA MONICA, CA. March 20, 2017 - Courtyard by Marriott Santa Monica is scheduled to open its doors in Santa Monica today. Featuring a prime location in the heart of downtown Santa Monica, the new hotel is steps from the iconic Santa Monica Pier and Beach, Third Street Promenade and Santa Monica Place for guests to enjoy world-class dining, shopping and entertainment. This 136-room Courtyard hotel will operate as a Marriott franchise, managed by Interstate Hotels and Resorts of Arlington, Virginia.

With innovative lobby space as well as Courtyard's latest contemporary room design, the new hotel provides flexibility and choices that allow guests to optimize and elevate their travel experience. All guestrooms feature high ceilings and beach-themed decor unique to Santa Monica through art selections, wall paper design and wood-plank floors.

The new Metro Expo train, adjacent to the hotel, takes guests to corporate areas of “Silicon Beach”, The Water Garden and Colorado Center, Hospitals, Museums in Exposition Park near the University of Southern California, and over to Downtown LA to experience professional sports, concerts and events at the LA Convention Center and LA Live.
