CRESTVIEW HILLS, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Columbia Sussex, one of the largest Marriott franchisees in the country, is in the midst of an aggressive renovation program to at least nine of its Marriott owned and operated properties. Most recently, it completed a multi-million dollar renovation to one of Long Island’s landmark hotels, the Melville Marriott Long Island, which has hosted Fortune 500 executives, athletes competing at the nearby sporting venues, to large conventions and conferences.
One of the largest full service hotels built in the ideal Nassau-Suffolk corridor of Long Island, the property is centrally located to corporate parks where the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies reside, as well as popular attractions such as Walt Whitman Shops, to the upcoming PGA Championship at the Bethpage Black, and picturesque beaches.
Each of Columbia Sussex’s Marriott renovations feature the new Marriott Hotel (MH) standards focusing on architectural aesthetic, location and fresh design. Melville Marriott’s renovation takes its inspiration from the bountiful vineyards of Long Island, with nuanced scents, colors and materials which are harmoniously woven together to create a balanced bouquet.

With a base of deep hues and luxe modern textures, the new guest room color palette reflects the vineyards, the sea and the area’s beaches and parks. All 371 guest rooms, including executive and deluxe suites, have been renovated to reflect this design philosophy using dark woods, brushed metal and caramel-colored leather that complements the professional yet relaxed vibe of Long Island. Contemporary murals and furnishings reflect Marriott's modern aesthetic.
