SpringHill Suites is a brand operated by Marriott International offering suite hotels that target the upper-moderate lodging tier of the industry.[2]
History
Introduced in May 1997, the concept arose out of rebranding former Fairfield Suites properties, which featured an all-suite layout, into a brand of its own.[3] The 34 properties (six managed and 28 franchised) in 1999 grew to 153 by 2006. The 300th was opened in 2013.[2] As of June 30, 2020, it has 470 hotels with 55,595 rooms in addition to 187 hotels with 21,307 rooms in the pipeline.[1]
