Jacksonville to Debut New Marriott Concept Hotel

A new Marriott concept hotel called StudioRes is slated for Jacksonville along Parramore Road south of Interstate 295. Marriott says StudioRes focuses on the short-term rental market for stays exceeding 20 days. Features include fully furnished studios with queen beds and a kitchen.

The public spaces include a communal table, fitness room, guest-paid laundry, covered patio and vending area. There is no breakfast buffet. Noble Investment Group is the developer. VHB Engineering is the civil engineer.

The first StudioRes is expected to open in Ft. Myers next year. StudioRes is said to be “a new-build, midscale extended stay development platform for owners & franchisees in the US and Canada.” Marriott says StudioRes will allow owners to capitalize on increased consumer demand for longer stay options at an affordable price while taking advantage of a turnkey prototype. The company is planning for 300 nationwide.
