The changes involved gutting and upgrading all bedrooms and bathrooms, with new tech and a “contemporary feel.”
“The rooms are more versatile. The business traveler will have different options to work and relax comfortably. The bathroom now features a large walk-in rain shower, the rooms also have elements inspired by clear woods,” said Nicol Khelawan, General Manager of Courtyard Port of Spain. “The multiple spaces of the new guest rooms are the perfect example to the Courtyard brand identity: The flexibility of the spaces will provide the guests more comfort to be their most creative and successful selves.”
