Accommodations near the airport make sense for layovers and business trips, but for weekend getaways, too? Marriott thinks so, and hopes to prove it by attracting more leisure travelers — and aviation enthusiasts — to its Renaissance Concourse Hotel in Atlanta.
The hotel, which sits just outside the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, has begun offering a Concourse Aviation Package for weekend stays. It pairs a room with a view (of the runway) from a private balcony with other perks, like an aviator flight kit, which includes a runway map, an airplane specification guide to help identify aircraft, binoculars and soft drinks and appetizers at the hotel's Concorde Lounge.
"On that side of the hotel, in those rooms, you get a tremendous view of the airplanes taking off and landing," Mary A. Baxter, a senior marketing manager for Marriott in Atlanta, said. "Not only in the guest rooms, but in the lounge, which is level with the runway."
For those worried about the noise, Ms. Baxter said the hotel's almost two-inch-thick double-pane glass windows, concrete precast exterior walls and interior sound baffles — barriers that reduce the strength of airborne sound — drastically reduce noise from the aircraft.
"When you're in the room, honest to God, you do not hear the planes; when you're in the hotel, you do not hear the planes," she said. "When you go out on that balcony, it's loud."
Doubles are available from $124, now through December.
