STAMFORD, Conn. – Sept. 11, 2018 – Residence Inn by Marriott is opening its first hotel in Stamford in late fall 2018, bringing Connecticut’s third-largest city and one of the Northeast’s largest corporate centers its first-ever extended-stay brand. Just 30 miles from New York City, Residence Inn by Marriott Stamford Downtown is owned by UC Funds and will be managed by Urgo Hotels & Resorts. The new eight-story, all-suite hotel located at 25 Atlantic Street will offer 156 luxury apartment-style accommodations and almost 2,000 square feet of meeting and event space in the heart of Stamford’s bustling downtown.
“Residence Inn by Marriott Stamford Downtown is a vital addition to the Stamford travel market and business community,” said area general manager Todd Lindvall. “Its downtown location and residential-style suites and amenities are equally ideal for corporate travelers who need proximity to local headquarters, families and other visitors who want a launch pad to explore the city and greater New York metro, and extended-stay guests who seek the comforts of home while they’re on the road.”
Nearly 2,000 square feet of meeting and event space accommodates business groups, weddings and other social gatherings of up to 120 and can be separated into two rooms for smaller events. Complementing the space is a 1,000-square-foot terrace, set off the welcome reception area, ideal for cocktails.
