About Courtyard by Marriott
Courtyard was designed in the early 1980s using extensive research into what business travellers actually wanted, and it is one of the earliest hotel brands created from market research rather than from an existing property. Marriott franchises the great majority of them, so the company sets the standards and collects fees while other owners carry the cost of the buildings.
