Island Hospitality to Manage Atlantic City Courtyard by Marriott
JUNE 4, 2008. Officials of Island Hospitality Management, LLC, one of the nation's largest hotel management companies, today announced that it has been retained to manage the newly opened 206-room Courtyard by Marriott Atlantic City Hotel following an extensive renovation of the property and conversion to the Courtyard brand. The hotel was developed and is owned by Innkeepers USA Trust.
Located at 1212 Pacific Ave., just off the city's famed boardwalk, the Courtyard is Atlantic City's first, upscale non-casino/non-convention hotel to open in more than 25 years. The smoke-free hotel's guestrooms feature large flat-screen televisions, refrigerators and complimentary Internet access. The property's plush lobby features extensive marble and upscale seating, highlighted by a floor-to-ceiling fireplace and crystal chandeliers. The Courtyard offers 1,200 square feet of meeting space capable of handling groups of up to 44 people.
"This is a gorgeous property that has been completely made-over," said Jeff Waldt, Island Hospitality's senior vice president of marketing and sales. "The hotel will appeal to a wide array of guests, including summer beach goers, business travelers, convention attendees, and gamers who want a great guest experience in the heart of the action but without all the hassles associated with the mega-casinos. This is a one-of-a-kind Courtyard that will offer a great upscale experience for both leisure and business travelers.
"We have extensive experience in marketing to and serving multiple guest segments in both urban and resort locations such as this. We have brought in one of our most seasoned general managers, Hugh Chandler, and director of sales, Deneen White, who together bring more than 35 years of hotel expertise to the property."
