CNNGo: How different is Courtyard by Marriott from the other airport hotels?

Sanne Emborg: Besides location, which is very convenient for both the domestic as well as international airport, our hotel has been designed by businessmen for business travelers. Since it’s all about giving comfort and space the design is open and light with a focus on functionality. You can always find time for meetings and space for quiet time. The new age business traveler likes to balance work with life without taking too much time out. Therefore we also offer fitness and me-time spaces. Our theme is 'business and beyond'.
