HMS Architects Takes Pride In Their Design of the New Marriott Residence Inn

HMS Architects, a New Orleans- based firm, has designed the latest addition to the Marriott family, the new Residence Inn by Marriott at Northpark Business Park in Covington, LA
Residence Inn by Marriott is the quality tier of the extended stay lodging segment, with suites offering a residential environment for longer length of stays of five or more nights.

All 125-suite guestrooms feature full kitchens, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and other high end finishes throughout.

HMS has taken the newest prototypical design for Residence Inn, and manipulated the spaces to fit on a challenging site in an existing wooded business park. Care was taken to preserve the natural landscape, and blend the building in with its surroundings by adding a large assortment of native plants to the site.

Business technology has been integrated throughout the hotel, and meeting space provided with over 1400sf of custom space with a high tech tele-video conferencing system, wireless internet, and multiple data ports for meetings.

A spacious lobby was designed with a multitude of natural light, library niches for small semi-private gatherings, a large communal breakfast table with data ports, and an on-site business center.
