Brian's Blog: A Very Special First Guest at the New Courytard Beijing Northeast

The Courtyard brand continues to grow and expand internationally. We just celebrated the grand opening of the Courtyard by Marriott Beijing Northeast. This is our sixth Courtyard hotel in China and we have three more in the pipeline. It’s located 20 minutes from Beijing Capital International Airport between the Lido Commercial District and Wangjing High Tech Park.

This hotel has a very unique story behind it as it hosted a very special person as its first guest. Mr. Jolland Chan, the man who wrote “Olympic Beijing,” the theme song of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, was the very first person to stay in the hotel. It was an honor to host Mr. Chan and I’m very excited to hear his song when the Olympics debut just a few months from now!

Thanks for helping me keep Courtyard on the go.
