Courtyard by Marriott opens 2 new properties in Europe
The Courtyard by Marriott chain of hotels is in the middle of a major revamp - but at the same time, the chain is working hard to expand across Europe. The chain already has 40 properties and over 7,000 rooms in Europe, and today, they announced the two newest additions to their lineup - Budapest and St. Petersburg.
The 235-room Courtyard Budapest City Center is located on Blaha Luiza Square in the Pest section of Budapest. The hotel is located in close proximity to both the airport and public transportation lines.
The new 273-room Courtyard St. Petersburg Center West/Pushkin Hotel is located in central St. Petersburg within a 10-minute walk of the Marinsky Theater and St. Nicholas Cathedral and the State Hermitage. It is Marriott's second Courtyard-branded hotel in St. Petersburg.
Both properties feature everything that makes a Courtyard such a great pick - high speed Internet, the Grab & Go snack market, flat screen TV's and a well designed work area.
The two new properties are open and ready for guests - to learn more about them, and the 848 other locations in the chain, check out the Courtyard by Marriott site.

It is great news that the Marriott Courtyard has opened in Budapest in place of the former ugly socialist building in Blaha Lujza Square.
The problem is that it an island located in a sea of filth. The car park and square directly in front of the hotel is home to homeless people who defecate and urinate in the bushes and sometimes in full public view. African drug dealers and hustlers and all kinds of other totally undesirable figures. I heard they wanted to clean up the area in front of the hotel but the local government disallowed their planning request.
It is so sad and I am sure after a short while the hotel will be famous for the wrong reasons :(
