Courtyard by Marriott Nassau in Bahamas starts renovations

The Courtyard by Marriott Nassau Downtown/Junkanoo Beach has marked the completion of its first phase of remodeling designed to transform the property into a destination for both business and leisure travelers.

"As a passionate Caribbean leader, I'm thrilled to unveil this transformation that is about more than just a refresh,” said General Manager Nigel Francis, in a statement. “It's about cultivating a vibrant hub for our community where our spirited essence can truly shine.”

The Courtyard Nassau Downtown/Junkanoo Beach is located within walking distance to Nassau's historic downtown district, straw market, fish fry shops, dining, and cruise port. With ocean views, the property has two pools, on-site dining and group hosting capabilities.

A renovated alfresco pool bar delivers poolside meals and cocktails, while inside the Bistro serves a mix of Bahamian and American classics, open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, featuring freshly brewed Starbucks coffee. In the evening, the bar and lounge provide cocktails and a relaxing setting for guests to unwind.

To support the group travel market, the property has introduced a completely renovated Event Center; including an expansive ballroom, meeting room and an executive boardroom. The property includes over 6,000 total square feet of meeting and event space with its ballroom accommodating up to 250 guests for reception-style events.

“We envision these spaces as a place where local businesses can come together to collaborate, where families can celebrate milestones, and where Nassau's dynamic spirit is fully embraced,” said Francis. “This project is close to my heart because it's an investment in our island, our people, and our future. We're not just offering a venue; we're opening our doors to become an integral part of the local landscape."
