Resolute Road Hospitality, a Boise-based hotel management company founded on the promise to change the way owners think of their management company, announced today the successful conversion of the former Comfort Suites Redmond to a City Express by Marriott Redmond Airport, located in Redmond, Oregon. The project highlights the company’s expertise in executing brand conversions that reposition assets, enhance competitive positioning, and create long-term value for ownership.
The conversion aligns the property with Marriott International’s expanding City Express by Marriott brand, providing ownership with access to Marriott’s global distribution platform, brand standards, and commercial infrastructure while positioning the asset for long-term operational performance.
“Brand conversions continue to be an effective strategy for owners seeking to unlock additional value from existing assets,” said Gary Horton, President and CEO, Resolute Road Hospitality. “Successfully executing a conversion requires disciplined operational planning, strong collaboration with ownership and brand partners, and a clear focus on maintaining business continuity throughout the transition. Our focus throughout this project was delivering a seamless transition that positions the hotel for long-term operational success while creating lasting value for ownership.”
Resolute Road led the operational execution of the conversion, working closely with ownership, Marriott International, and project partners to coordinate pre-opening planning, brand implementation, associate training, and operational readiness, ensuring a seamless transition into the Marriott system.
Located in Central Oregon, the 92-room all-suite City Express by Marriott Redmond Airport features complimentary breakfast, an indoor pool, and a fitness center. The property offers guests convenient access to Redmond Municipal Airport, regional employers such as Medline and BASX, and nearby attractions including Smith Rock State Park and Mt. Bachelor. Guests are also within a short drive of Bend’s vibrant dining, shopping, and craft brewery scene, as well as the popular Hayden Homes Amphitheater, one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier outdoor concert venues. The hotel serves as an ideal home base for travelers exploring the region’s renowned outdoor recreation and year-round attractions.
