CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (April 28, 2008) � Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR) and Meyer Jabara Hotels are pleased to announce the opening of the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge, a newly renovated 203-room boutique hotel located on the banks of the Charles River at 777 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass.  Formerly a Radisson Hotel, the 16-story Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge combines the innovative style of Meyer Jabara Hotels with the Marriott International brand to provide a customized guest experience unrivaled in the Boston area. 

Located near Cambridge�s prestigious universities and world-class biotechnology campuses, the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge offers guests unique amenities to provide a distinct neighborhood experience.  Nightly themed activities, such as handcrafted sushi demonstrations, poetry readings, martini-making classes, beer and wine tastings, and live local jazz and blues entertainment will bring the vibrant and eclectic atmosphere of Harvard Square right inside the hotel lobby.

�This hotel is not your average Courtyard by Marriott,� says Tony Schatz of Meyer Jabara Hotels, general manager of the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge.  �We have incorporated the Cambridge theme into almost every aspect of our guest experience to truly differentiate ourselves from an ordinary stay in the city.�

As part of Meyer Jabara Hotel�s new approach to managing Courtyards by Marriott, Schatz will offer guests a variety of exclusive, themed stay packages at the new Cambridge location.  They include the �Historic Pub Crawl� where guests can sample Sam Adams beer and experience some of the area�s best pubs; the �Godiva Getaway,� a perfect combination of chocolate and romance; the �Business in Cambridge,� which offers amenities that transform an ordinary business trip into a memorable getaway; and the �Food & Wine Escape� that presents New England�s best wine and travel experiences.

�If you are visiting the area for university commencement, business travel, summer vacation or planning a memorable Boston wedding, the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge offers a one-of-a-kind Cambridge experience to maximize your stay in this historic and world-class city,� says Schatz.

The hotel boasts a variety of guest amenities, including exciting dining and entertainment options, an indoor swimming pool with adjacent observation deck, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a guest laundry room.  In addition, the newly renovated guest rooms boast panoramic views of the Charles River, City of Cambridge and Boston skyline, feature king- or queen-sized beds, a seating area with sofa bed or oversized chair, a large well-lit work desk, telephones equipped with data ports and complimentary wireless internet.  

The lobby hosts a 24-hour �grab-and-go� food and beverage area called �The Market� as well as a lounge to work, meet and dine.  The Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge also offers 6,000 square feet of bright and welcoming meeting space for business travelers as well as a business center with individual workstations.  Additionally, the large function rooms are ideal venues to host memorable weddings and social affairs. 

As the leading select-service hotel brand in the United States, the Courtyard by Marriott Boston/Cambridge will provide guests an exciting, unique and authentic Boston/Cambridge experience.  The hotel will operate as a Marriott franchise, managed by Meyer Jabara Hotels of Danbury, Conn.
