Notable components of the new design options include:

  • Atwell Suites: The guestroom will feature flexible spaces for work, lounging, and bar and dining areas.
  • Staybridge Suites: The introduction of the new Smart Studio room. These guest suites additionally have right-size space through streamlined kitchen equipment and fixtures and optimized millwork cabinetry, while maintaining designated work, sleep and relaxation zones designed for a comfortable, residential-style stay.
  • Candlewood Suites: The Beacon 4.2 variation builds upon the strong performance of the brand’s most recent design, introduced in 2019. These rooms contain a fully equipped kitchen and signature recliner, along with flexible room mixes, and designated social, semi-private and communal lobby working areas.

The new prototype options will be available by Q2 2024, with the first hotels featuring these options expected to open as early as 2025. Currently, the designs will only be open to U.S. hotels, but allow for potential future adoption in Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America.

Hotel Van Zandt Review

One step onto Austin’s Rainey Street and you’ll feel like you’ve joined the cool kids at the best playground in the city. Just behind the cottage bars, pint-sized skyscrapers soar. One of them, Hotel Van Zandt, the Rainey district's pièce de resistance, beckons with a song-like spirit —apropos because the independently owned property, rife with music motifs, was named after beloved singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Sixteen stories high, the hotel embodies Austin’s lust for music, manifesting with a vinyl corner; trumpet chandeliers; myriad musical references; replica vintage posters in frames; and its own live music venue, which doubles as its acclaimed restaurant, Geraldine’s. Don’t miss the mesmerizing installation of colorful origami-like birds composed from vinyl records that flitter from an old phonograph.
