Marriott has announced the opening of its first hotel in Central London, offering an alternative departure lounge to business travellers, using London City Airport.
The 184-room property has a variety of onsite options that have helped increase the range of food and beverage choices available locally.
Opened on 8 November 2021 and managed by Cycas Hospitality, the Courtyard London City Airport is the first hotel to come to the Docklands area since 2014, and becomes the area’s first full-service property.
The hotel said it offers three “interactive” meeting rooms all with floor-to-ceiling windows, fully-equipped business centre, all-day kitchen and bar dining concept, on-property Starbucks coffee and a Grab and Go market
The Courtyard hotel has introduced a new range of casual and business-focused spaces just five minutes’ walk from the airport check-in area.
Chris Thomas, general manager of Courtyard London City Airport, said: “With the airport’s redevelopment programme currently paused until at least 2023, we are delighted to be able to offer an alternative departure lounge option for smart travellers keen to take advantage of the airport’s swift check-in process.”
“At a time when travellers are looking for extra space and added peace of mind when flying, we’re delighted to be able to offer new options to work, meet or stay, all with Marriott’s commitment to the highest standards of cleanliness, and to help people travel with confidence.”
