Inspired by the work styles of Gen X and Gen Y, Marriott Hotels & Resorts has exclusively partnered with Steelcase to offer Workspring concept that will promote creativity and innovation. Redmond Marriott Town Center is the first hotel from Marriott brand to offer the small meetings suite.
A new survey sponsored by WIRED and Marriott Hotels & Resorts, found that 48% of readers polled said they are “more productive when they work remotely” and 45% have “unmet needs when working remotely.” Marriott is attempting to integrate the findings of this survey through the new concept Workspring at Marriott is touted as the industry’s first purpose-built suite of integrated spaces and common areas designed for small meetings. Taking a holistic approach, the suite brings together integrated service, technology and contemporary design.
As more and more people work remotely, they are increasingly collaborating with each other. Based on extensive research by Steelcase, everything in Workspring at Marriott from the furniture set-up to the locally-sourced, healthy food, to the smallest details, such as sustainably-produced office supplies, has been meticulously designed to support small, collaborative meetings and generate better results.
Workspring consists of five studios of varying sizes to accommodate meetings from three to 75 attendees and several common areas. All the spaces will feature natural light and outside access, which is typically not the case for hotel meeting spaces.
In addition, Workspring at Marriott offers a simple inclusive pricing structure that includes the meeting space, technology, wireless access, office supplies and food and beverage. The service-centric approach also offers customers with a dedicated host, who handles all needs.
Marriott Hotels & Resorts has been “re-imagining” the guest experience, transforming lobbies and public spaces by designing them for a new generation of business travelers who blend work and play.
