Miami, FL (PRWEB) November 21, 2009
Courtyard Miami West/FL Turnpike is the first Courtyard in the Miami area to feature the brand’s “refreshing business” makeover. The 127-room hotel in Miami West opened in February 2009. Located at 11580 NW 105th Street, just off the Florida Turnpike at Flagler Station Corporate Park, the hotel is managed by Portfolio Hotels & Resorts, based in Oak Brook, IL.
Located 15 minutes from downtown Miami and 16 miles from the Miami International Airport, the West Miami hotel is near Landshark Stadium, the Florida Everglades, Dolphin Mall and FIU/Florida International University, and is just a short ride from Miami Beach.
Courtyard by Marriott was the first lodging brand exclusively designed for business travel by business travelers. Now more than ever, those travelers searching for a hotel near Ryder, Brightstar, Komatsu, and State Farm insurance offices – all located in the Flagler Station Corporate Park – now have easy access thanks to this hotel in West Miami near Dolphin Mall.
The open, bright and contemporary new Courtyard hotel lobby welcomes guests with vivid contrasting colors, including blue, green, orange and red. The traditional front desk is replaced with separate welcome podiums to create more personal and private interactions when guests check in. Flexible seating options range from a communal table in the middle of the action, to more private media booths with high-definition televisions, to a more intimate, semi-enclosed lounge area.
A signature element of the new lobby is the exclusive Courtyard GoBoardTM, a 52-inch LCD touch screen packed with local information, maps, weather, and news, business and sports headlines. Guests can navigate using the touch screen to find restaurants in Doral, FL, local attractions and directions.
Guests can connect to free WiFi and there are ample electrical outlets throughout the lobby to power digital devices. The enlarged business library features several complimentary computer terminals along with a free printer and separate computer stations dedicated to printing airline boarding passes and checking flight status.
Dining has been completely redesigned at the Bistro. Guests can unwind with casual, flexible seating; easier access to food and higher quality, healthier menu options for breakfast; and light evening fare, including snacks, wine and beer. The MarketTM, a 24/7 shop for snacks, beverages and sundries, is always open for late-night cravings or the toothpaste you forgot to pack.
Guests looking to take their minds off work can grab a snack, their favorite beverage and take a seat in front of the large high-definition television located in the lounge to watch a variety of programming, including top news, business, sports and entertainment channels. A welcoming outdoor element adjacent to the pool has been integrated into the lobby design, encouraging guests to grab a beverage and relax outdoors at the end of the day.
Adding to the lobby ambiance, the new Courtyard soundtrack will change throughout the day from upbeat in the morning to more casual in the evening.
The five-story hotel offers 1,850 square feet of meeting space in Doral, FL, to accommodate small meetings and functions of up to 125 people. Other guest facilities and services include an outdoor swimming pool with whirlpool spa, fitness center, guest laundry and business center. The Courtyard Miami West/FL Turnpike also features five suites with a king-size bed.
