South Fort Myers will be the home of Marriott International Inc.’s prototype StudioRes midscale extended stay hotel, expected to be the brand’s most affordable cost-per-key product to develop and build.
Concord Hospitality, which has developed a number of Marriott hotels across North America, began construction of the first of about 50 StudioRes locations Jan. 17 at 9251 Hilsman Lane, just north of the Three Oaks Parkway-Alico Road intersection.
StudioRes seeks to deliver reasonably priced modern comfort for guests seeking longer stay accommodations in the U.S. and Canada. At 124 rooms and 54,000 square feet, the StudioRes prototype will have fully furnished studio rooms complete with kitchen and queen beds. Public spaces will offer amenities, such as daily coffee service, a fitness center, laundry room, vending area, communal table and covered patio.
The property is expected to open in spring 2025.
