Courtyard by Marriott Miami Aventura Mall Completes Brand Refresh with Updated Lobby, Bistro and Meeting Rooms / March 2012

Aventura, FL, March 8, 2012 – Nestled between famed Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Courtyard Aventura unveiled a bright new stay for 2012. This Florida hotel breaks the norm of standard amenities through its invigorated lobby, The Bistro, and meeting rooms full of high-tech bells & whistles.

The lobby’s chic décor and inviting ambiance provide a breath of fresh air, while contemporary improvements include interactive Go Boards®, a home theater, and MediaPods. But one may ask, what is a MediaPod? “They’re cozy booths that offer complimentary Wi-Fi, power outlets for laptops, and a flat-screen TV with a personal remote control,” explains Yara Mendes, Director of Sales at Courtyard Aventura. “They’re perfect for work or play.”

Beyond Courtyard’s high-tech improvements, the hotel offers The Bistro, featuring tasty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners along with Starbucks Coffee. “Guests adore The Bistro, especially Happy Hour at The Bistro Bar. It has become a favorite spot for guests to unwind & enjoy themselves,” says Mendes.

From technical advances to culinary delights, the Courtyard Aventura has remodeled both the hotel and the guest experience. “Guests can now relax outside of their guest room,” describes Mendes. “Our new lobby provides them with the opportunity to eat, drink, and connect with others.”

Additional upgrades at Courtyard Aventura include:

New fitness center, outdoor patio, and swimming pool.
2 new meeting rooms with state-of-the-art technology that includes built-in 47” LCD TV, 86” retractable screen, glass whiteboard, & premium surround sound / audiovisual equipment.

Courtyard by Marriott Miami Aventura Mall is a 3-AAA Diamond Hotel managed by Turnberry Associates, a premier property management company.
