In Kingston’s business district, the refurbished Courtyard by Marriott is staking out a sharper role. With a redesigned lobby, restaurant and bar — now branded the ‘Kitchen and Bar’ Restaurant — the hotel aims to remain a leading business address while doubling as a social draw for locals and visitors.

Since opening in 2015 at 1 Park Close, New Kingston, the property has catered to corporate travellers, diplomats and leisure guests. As Kingston has grown into a hub for commerce, culture and entertainment, the hotel has followed suit. According to Senior Sales Manager Romie Morris, the renovation is part of that shift.

“The renovation was inspired by our commitment to evolve with the needs of today’s traveller. We recognised the importance of creating spaces that are not only functional, but also inviting, modern, and reflective of Kingston’s vibrant energy,” Morris said.
