Marriott hotel ‘in town’

Barbados’ newest hotel, Courtyard By Marriott Bridgetown, opened its doors yesterday to host members of the media during a series of events which also recognised and honoured its more than 60 staff.
In addition to a media/staff luncheon, and cocktails later in the evening, the 118-room, multi-million dollar hotel also officially welcomed its first guests.
General manager Reynaldo Rey and director of sales Lisa Gibson said they were expecting a good tourism season.
Rey told the Saturday Sun that with additional flights, particularly out of the main United States gateways including Dallas, Texas, coupled with the worldwide success of the Marriotts brand and the hotel’s current location, he was preparing to welcome many business and leisure travellers,.
The hotel at Hastings, Christ Church, is the 68th regional Courtyard by Marriott brand. (CH)
