SpringHill Suites is a brand operated by Marriott International offering all-suite[definition needed] hotels that target the upper-moderate lodging tier of the industry.[2] As of June 30, 2020, it has 470 hotels with 55,595 rooms in addition to 187 hotels with 21,307 rooms in the pipeline.[1]

History

Introduced in May 1997, the concept arose out of rebranding former Fairfield Suites properties which featured an all-suite layout into a brand of its own.[3] These featured a bedroom, living area and kitchen. Rooms included a microwave, small refrigerator, iron and hair dryer. The hotel’s breakfast buffet, and fax and copy services were complimentary.[4][5] Growing from 34 properties (six managed and 28 franchised) in 1999, 153 operated by 2006. The 300th opened in 2013.[2]
