The new $12 million Courtyard by Marriott is slated to open before the end of the year, bringing to the community 122 hotel rooms, meeting space, a restaurant and an indoor pool, according to the Columbus Dispatch.
Located at Forest Drive and Smith’s Mill Road, east of Route 62, the hotel will enable the city to meet a burgeoning demand for accommodations from surrounding businesses as well as the adjacent Mount Carmel New Albany Surgical Hospital.
With 3,500 new jobs created since 2009, and 2.4 million square feet of commercial space under construction, Jennifer Chrysler, New Albany’s director of community development, expects the new companies and employees to provide an instant customer base for the hotel. Read more at the Dispatch.
