Airport Hotel Reflagged Marriott, Undergoing $10 million in Improvements |
 WASHINGTON,
Nov. 28, 2005 - Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) announced
today that the Wyndham Pittsburgh Airport hotel in Coraopolis, Pa., has
been re-flagged as the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. Located at 777
Aten Road, the 316-room hotel will undergo a comprehensive $10 million
renovation early next year. The property is owned by Goldman Sachs Group,
Inc. and is operated by Interstate Hotels & Resorts.
�We�re very excited to be part of the Marriott family of hotels, and we look forward to welcoming our past guests and introducing new visitors to this wonderful hotel,� said Tom Hardy, general manager, Pittsburgh Airport Marriott. �Upon completion of the renovation, our customers can expect Marriott�s new luxurious bedding and fresh design, and we will continue to provide an outstanding level of service that our guests have come to trust and rely on.� Beginning in February 2006, the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott will undergo a comprehensive renovation to its exterior, public space, fitness center and signature restaurant, Meritage Grill. Guest rooms will be completely refurbished and will feature Marriott�s new, luxurious bedding with plush mattresses, soft sheets and multiple pillows. Replacing the traditional hotel bedspread is a down comforter nestled inside sheeted duvets, which will be freshly laundered for each new guest. The bedding features 300-thread-count, cotton-rich, white top and fitted bottom sheets, which are among the finest and softest sheets of any global hotel chain. The stylized bedding is accented with euro shams, a decorative bed scarf and a bolster. Other in-room amenities include a workspace with ergonomic desk and chair, high-speed wireless internet access, telephone with data port and speaker phone, Bath & Body Works products, curved shower rods, coffee maker, iron with ironing board, in-room safe, and cable TV with premium channels. Just outside the Pittsburgh International Airport, the Pittsburgh Airport Marriott is the only full-service hotel immediately adjacent to the Point retail and commercial center, which features a myriad of dining and shopping destinations. Downtown Pittsburgh is only 20 minutes away. The Pittsburgh Airport Marriott offers a total of 12,000 square feet of meeting space with 18 flexible breakout rooms. The hotel�s signature restaurant, Meritage Grill, offers American cuisine and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In addition, a Starbuck�s retail shop serving freshly brewed Starbucks coffee will be added to the lobby. |
