LITTLETON, MA—The Courtyard by Marriott Boston Littleton has opened here, featuring a new lobby space as well as Courtyard’s latest contemporary room design.
Located at 102 Constitution Ave., the 115-room hotel will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned by Point Hospitality, LLC and managed by Lafrance Hospitality Company of Westport, MA.
Situated within The Point, the first mixed-use retail destination of its kind in Boston’s Metro Northwest, the hotel is near the I-495 “Think Belt” that serves more than 250, 000 high-tech workers, according to the company. The property is accessible to Nashoba Valley Ski Area, Shaker Hills Country Club and The Barn at Gibbet Hill.
The brand’s latest room design offers hybrid zones for working, sleeping, relaxing and getting ready. Design elements include indirect lighting and a neutral, tone-on-tone color palette.
“From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to business travelers,” said Callette Nielsen, VP and global brand manager, Courtyard. “Today’s technology has changed how people travel.
