“It is an exciting occasion for LTD Management, which has a 14-year long relationship with Marriott, to be hosting the 25th anniversary event for the Courtyard by Marriott brand at our new Courtyard Newport News Airport,” says Dilip Desai, Senior Managing Partner for LTD. “Not only are we excited about the new concept, but our guests have also been truly impressed.”
Courtyard by Marriott was the first lodging brand exclusively designed for business travelers. The Courtyard Newport News Airport is the world’s first hotel built to feature the brand’s new exterior look and revamped lobby and guest room design. The new lobby includes the state-of-the-art informational GoBoard, plenty of options to work or relax with flexible workspaces throughout the lounge, free Wi-Fi, and a home theater area with a 50-inch flat screen television.
