Courtyard by Marriott has opened its fifth hotel in France, the Courtyard Paris Arcueil.

Located in Arcueil, a suburb just south of Paris, the 170-room hotel is located close to the headquarters of many French corporations and situated near numerous public transportation options allowing guests to reach the heart of downtown Paris in just 20 minutes.

Opening rates begin from €99 (US$135) per night through 30 April 2011.

Janis Milham, vice president and global brand manager, Courtyard by Marriott said, “We are excited to introduce our exclusive GoBoard technology in France. The GoBoard is a highly interactive 55-inch LCD touch screen in our Courtyard by Marriott lobbies that is packed with a wealth of local information, weather, and news enabling our guests to find great restaurants, attractions and directions, all at their fingertips.”

The Courtyard Paris Arcueil boasts 170 stylish and sophisticated guestrooms, featuring ergonomic work areas and Wi-Fi.

For onsite dining, the hotel features Oleo Pazzo, a delightful Mediterranean bistro. In addition, the Courtyard Paris Arcueil boasts a 24-hour market featuring a choice of light meals, snacks and drinks.

A 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center is also on-site so guests can maintain their fitness on the road.

Amy McPherson, president and managing director for Marriott International in Europe said, “Courtyard is expanding globally at a rapid pace and we are thrilled with the growth of the brand here in Europe. Last year we announced our goal to double our presence in Europe by 2015. Just this year, we expect to open five more Courtyard hotels in Europe in cities including Moscow, Munich and another fabulous addition here in France in Boulogne.”
