New Fairfield Inn & Suites By Marriott Opening in Duluth Area Tuesday

A brand new 112-room Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott is scheduled to open this Tuesday, May 14, in Duluth. This is the first Fairfield Inn & Suites in the area to feature the brand’s new design and décor.

Located at 3570 Breckenridge Boulevard, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Atlanta-Gwinnett Place will operate as a Marriott franchise, owned and managed by Duke Hospitality LLC of Lithonia. Rates begin at $119 per night.

The hotel’s inventive public space and guest room design and its bright and inviting décor create a warm and welcoming environment, according to a news release announcing the opening.

“Delivering both function and comfort, our new design and décor elevate the Fairfield brand, setting a new standard in the moderate tier category,” said Shruti Buckley, Fairfield Inn & Suites vice president and global brand manager.

“At Fairfield Inn & Suites, we provide an easy, positive and productive travel experience, as well as the promise of consistent and reliable service at an exceptional value. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Atlanta-Gwinnett Place is a truly stunning example of the brand’s contemporary new look and feel, and we are pleased to introduce Fairfield Inn & Suites hotels in the Duluth area,” he said. The hotel is located in unincorporated Duluth.

The new design features include an updated exterior with a signature tower, a curved porte-cochere and an inviting glass entrance. Once inside, guests experience the hotel’s open public space featuring natural light and views throughout the lobby to connect the indoors with the outdoors.

In the spacious lobby area, guests can choose to be productive, relax or enjoy breakfast or a snack in a modern and flexible environment decorated in greens, blues and oranges. The lobby has a “connect and print” area that offers both standing and seated Internet stations. Guests can unwind in the lobby’s living area featuring a natural stone hearth, organic-shaped sofa and lounge chair or they can grab a drink or snack item from the 24/7 Corner Market.

A farm table in the lobby provides a central gathering place where guests can watch television, meet up with colleagues or get work done. In the morning, guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast offering breakfast sandwiches, make-your-own waffles, fruit, yogurt, and whole grain cereals and breads.

“Smart” room décor welcomes guests into a comfortable, productive and restful environment. Flexible and functional, the guest room includes a work area, an ergonomic chair, task lighting, and electrical outlets where guests need them. A curved, mobile desk enables guests to create their own work space and/or optimize television viewing.

Living and working areas are located near the windows to allow for more natural light and views. Guest room décor features organic patterns and fresh colors, blending wood tones with bright pops of color. The sleeping areas, featuring beds with plush mattresses, are placed in the middle of the room providing easier access to the bathroom and wardrobe.

Living areas offer a comfortable couch, refrigerator, coffeemaker, and microwave. Bath areas continue the room’s bright contemporary feel. Showers are available in all standard king rooms and suites.

Additional hotel amenities include an indoor swimming pool with a whirlpool spa, an exercise room, valet laundry service, complimentary Wi-Fi, as well as fax and copy services. The hotel also offers three meeting rooms with 2,000 square feet of space.
