Marriott Opens 10th Hotel in Paris
JUNE 18, 2009 - The 150-room Courtyard by Marriott Paris - Saint Denis has opened in the dynamic Seine Saint Denis area above Saint Ouen, in close proximity to major businesses such as EDF, Siemens, Samsung, Generali, Bacardi France, Bosch, Caterpillar, Panasonic and Valeo, the Tour Pleyel and the Stade de France stadium.
The hotel is just six kilometers from central Paris, accessible by car or Metro on line 13 (Carrefour Pleyel station). The Saint Denis hotel is Marriott's third moderately priced Courtyard branded hotel in Paris.
'This hotel is designed for European business travelers who want all the conveniences of an upscale hotel but with a casual, open design where they can be totally at ease,' says Siegfried Poppe, general manager of the hotel. 'It is in a great location to service business travelers to the area, as well as leisure guests attending events at the Stade de France.'

Additional amenities include a business center/Internet corner in the lobby and wireless Internet throughout all public areas of the hotel. A Grab & Go market provides snacks and sundries for those in a hurry. And the fitness center offers travelers a way to maintain their wellness regime.
For small conferences and social events, the hotel has 125 square meters of meeting space which can be divided into three separate meeting rooms.
