Courtyard by Marriott Opens Fourth Property in Russia

Courtyard by Marriott has opened its fourth hotel in Russia, the Courtyard Kazan, under a management agreement with Transstroibank. The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Kazan, near the Kazan Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and close to the offices of many international corporations. Located steps from the Kremlevskaya metro station, the hotel allows guests to move easily throughout the city.

Opening rates begin from 3.650 RUB ($125) per night, including breakfast, through March 31, 2011. Amy McPherson, president and managing director for Marriott International in Europe, said, “We are excited about the expansion of our Courtyard by Marriott brand in Eastern Europe and see strong opportunity to grow the brand here. Last year we announced our goal to double our presence in Europe by 2015, and in addition to the new Courtyard Kazan we will add our second Courtyard by Marriott in Moscow later this year.”

The Courtyard Kazan boasts 150 guestrooms, featuring ergonomic work areas and flat-screen televisions. The hotel’s Sky Bar Café is an Italian-inspired café serves pizza and pasta, and the Sky Bar Terrace features an outdoor area on the hotel’s roof top. In addition, the Courtyard Kazan features Zilant Mediterranean Grill and a 24-hour market offering guests a choice of light meals, snacks and drinks.
