Overland Park Becomes Home to Kansas' First 'Marriott International Greatroom'

Marriott Overland Park Completes Innovative Interior Renovation

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The Overland Park Marriott has recently completed an interior renovation to transform the traditional hotel lobby space into a "Marriott International (M.I.) Greatroom." It is the first to exist in Kansas, and Overland Park is among a small number of suburban hotels to introduce the concept that was launched in 2006.

"We are thrilled to be the first Marriott in Kansas to be home to an M.I. Greatroom. We serve a wide range of customers, from business travelers to vacationers, and can now boast a lobby that better meets the individual needs of every guest," said Shawn Cummins, the Overland Park hotel's general manager.

The completed M.I. Greatroom consists of three zones designed to best serve the wide-ranging needs of Marriott guests. The Social Business Zone provides a comfortable lounge area for groups of guests to meet and socialize. The Individual Zone offers a quiet alternative for guests to unwind and the At Your Service Zone serves as a central point for information. All the zones are also equipped with complementary WiFi.

In addition to the zones, the M.I. Greatroom will also feature the new 5-10-20 menu, served in the various zones, including moderately priced dishes that can be prepared and served within 5, 10, or 20 minutes. Nikko, the hotel's popular Japanese Steakhouse, will now include a sushi bar accessible to lobby visitors. In addition to Nikko, a brand new restaurant, Epicure, will open its doors, serving traditional American dishes with a healthy approach.
