Modernizing Courtyard by Marriott for a Fresh Guest Experience
UG Group (formerly 2WR+ Partners) led the renovation of a hotel in Reno, delivering a refreshed and modernized experience for Courtyard by Marriott. Commissioned by Sandpiper Hospitality, our team provided both exterior and interior upgrades that aligned with Marriott Generation 2 reimage brand standards. The existing exterior plans were highly schematic, requiring our expertise to create a design that was cost-effective, buildable, and visually appealing.
Collaborating with Structural and MEP Engineers, we developed a refined architectural solution that enhanced both aesthetics and functionality. These renovations revitalized the property, ensuring an improved guest experience while increasing the hotel’s market value. Additionally, the updates create a lasting impression, attracting new guests while improving operational efficiency.

The interior renovations followed Marriott’s 21-year update standards, ensuring the property remained competitive in the hospitality industry. Key enhancements included:
- Guestroom and Corridor Updates – Modern finishes and upgraded lighting enhance comfort and visual appeal.
- Revitalized Lobby and Public Areas – A redesigned layout creates a welcoming, spacious atmosphere for guests.
- Expanded Fitness Room – Now 400 sq. ft., the fitness area accommodates additional equipment and contemporary finishes.
- Double-Sided Glass Fireplace – This striking feature offers both indoor and outdoor seating, enhancing the ambiance.
A Fresh New Look with Lasting Value
The Hotel in Reno now presents a sleek, updated appearance that aligns with Marriott’s latest brand identity. Our exterior enhancements ensure a cohesive and modern look while maintaining cost efficiency. Additionally, the improvements create a more engaging and comfortable environment for guests, strengthening brand loyalty and boosting overall revenue.
Through strategic design and efficient execution, UG Group helped Courtyard by Marriott in Reno evolve into a more functional, inviting space. By blending practicality with modern hospitality trends, we delivered a high-impact transformation tailored to both guest satisfaction and owner investment.
