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.
