Marriott will expand its Courtyard brand to Iloilo City in Philippines next month when the Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo opens.

Located at Megaworld Boulevard, Mandurriao Iloilo City, the 324-room hotel is owned by Megaworld Corporation and will be managed by Marriott.

"From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to business travelers," said Callette Nielsen, vice president and global brand manager, Courtyard. "Today's technology has changed how people travel. Our guests want a room that has purpose and flexibility that enables a seamless transition between relaxing and working. Courtyard is designed to offer them a relaxing and functional space to work the way they want to, when they want to."

Courtyard's latest room design offers hybrid zones for working, sleeping, relaxing and getting ready, while indirect lighting and a neutral, tone-on-tone color palette makes for a soothing and calm environment.

Guests can store bags on the "Luggage Drop" and plug personal devices into the "Tech Drop" ledge for seamless technology integration.

Signature furniture and architectural elements replace traditional art in the new guestroom. The "LoungeAround" sofa offers a pop of color and a comfortable area for relaxing or for working.

The new design also features a light desk on wheels, allowing guests to work from anywhere in the room.
