Courtyard Hotel To Open In Woodland Hills, California

Woodland Hills, California – Courtyard by Marriott is rolling out its innovative lobby and room design in Woodland Hills, California. This is the first Courtyard in the area featuring the Refreshing Business lobby environment, where guests can enjoy an open and flexible space. Outfitted with semi-private media pods, a home theater and Wi-Fi in a variety of seating zones, the redefined space is ideal for everything from impromptu meetings to social gatherings.

Scheduled to open on Friday, February 15, 2013 the 122-room Courtyard Los Angeles Woodland Hills offers a stylish room design that helps guests stay connected, productive and comfortable. Thoughtfully planned, each well-appointed room features plush bedding, a functional work space, spacious bathrooms, a separate seating area and complimentary in-room high-speed Internet.

Located at 21101 Ventura Boulevard, the Courtyard Los Angeles Woodland Hills offers guests convenient access to the Warner Center business district of the San Fernando Valley, California State University in Northridge and Malibu Beach.

Courtyard understands business travelers, and, through extensive research, the brand continues to evolve to meet guests’ changing needs. Combining innovative technology with style and comfort, the adaptable lobby space offers options so guests can make the most of their time on the road.

“From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to what business travelers want from a hotel,” said Janis Milham, vice president and global brand manager, Courtyard. “Guests want more control and choice with services and amenities that create a healthy balance between working and relaxing. The Courtyard lobby invites guests to get out of their rooms to work, socialize or be entertained, whether traveling alone or with colleagues.”

The open, bright and contemporary Courtyard hotel lobby welcomes guests with warm natural colors, including gold, orange and red with accents of green. Replacing the traditional front desk, individual welcome pedestals create more personal and private interactions between staff and guests. From a communal table and semi-private media pods in the middle of the action, to more intimate lounge areas, the variety of seating allows guests to tailor their experience.

Dining has also been completely redesigned with The Bistro – Eat. Drink. Connect.®, offering casual, flexible seating; easier access to food and higher quality, healthier menu options for breakfast; and light evening fare, including snacks, cocktails, wine and beer so guests can unwind. Coffee lovers can also enjoy freshly brewed Starbucks coffee. The MarketTM, a 24/7 shop for snacks, beverages and sundries, is always open for late-night cravings or the toothpaste guests may have forgotten to pack.

A key component of the Courtyard lobby is the newly enhanced GoBoard® 4.0, which presents local information, maps, weather, and headline news on a 55-inch LCD touch screen. Designed with today’s busy traveler in mind, the award-winning GoBoard® features mobile integration, enabling guests to send directions from the GoBoard® directly to their smart phones. Guests can also touch the screen for immediate access to detailed flight information for local airports, popular entertainment and local event information, as well as walking directions.

Throughout the hotel, guests can connect to complimentary Wi-Fi, and there are ample electrical outlets in the lobby to power digital devices. The business library features several computer terminals, along with a printer and separate computer stations dedicated solely to printing airline boarding passes and checking flight status.

Green has been Courtyard’s signature color since Marriott launched the brand 25 years ago. Now it is even greener with the introduction of a guest recycling program for the environment. Receptacles for paper, glass, plastic and metal are conveniently located by side exits.

The six-story hotel features a heated outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center and guest laundry, and offers 350 square feet of meeting space to accommodate functions of up to 25 people.
