WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Courtyard by Marriott Winston-Salem Downtown opened its doors this week in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Featuring an innovative lobby space as well as a custom design, the new hotel provides flexibility and choices that allow guests to optimize and elevate their travel experience. Located at 640 West Fourth Street, the 126-room hotel will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned by Virtua Winston-Salem Hotel, LLC and managed by Hotel Equities of Atlanta, Georgia.

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, the Courtyard by Marriott Winston-Salem Downtown offers guests convenient access to Old Salem, the Yadkin Valley wineries, Kaleideum, Aperture Cinema and Hanesbrands Theatre.
Courtyard continues to innovate the guest experience to meet the changing needs of its guests. The latest room design offers hybrid zones for working, sleeping, relaxing and getting ready. Indirect lighting and a neutral, tone-on-tone color palette provides an elevated and modernized look and feel during the full guest experience from booking to stay.
“From day one, Courtyard has prided itself as a brand that listens to business travelers,” said Janis Milham, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader, Classic Select Brands. “Today’s technology has changed how people travel.

Each room features a large HDTV with over 40 HD channels, an interactive guide and streaming capabilities of Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, as well as a light desk on wheels, allowing guests to work from anywhere in the room.
The Courtyard by Marriott Winston-Salem Downtown features the brand’s latest lobby design, where guests can enjoy an open and modern environment outside of their rooms. As an extension to Courtyard’s inviting public spaces, the newly designed Bistro is the epicenter of the lobby, with more flexible and informal seating options. As an ideal casual dining destination, the Bistro offers guests a wide variety of fresh Classic American menu items with a contemporary twist. In the evening, the Bistro Bar also features an array of cocktails, beer and wine for guests to enjoy. The entire menu was carefully designed to offer a variety of flavorful, fresh items to satisfy every palate from morning to night.
