Current Company
In recent years, SpringHill Suites has created several key marketing initiatives. Since 2013, the brand has transformed security checkpoints at five major U.S. airports with their Airport Experience Zones. Their largest Airport Experience Zone is currently at Dulles International Airport and covers all 3 security checkpoints at the airport. SpringHill Suites also has Airport Experience Zones at Charlotte Douglas International, Oakland International Airport, and Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
In 2016 SpringHill Suites partnered with the design company west elm to feature the furniture company's products in suites and throughout the lobby. The centerpiece of the SpringHill Suites and west elm design collaboration is a three-in-one trundle sofa that offers three ways to sit or sleep. Along with the sofa, suites feature a west elm desk chair, ottoman and USB-enabled lamps. In addition, a collection of vases, frames and trays, all from west elm, are in the lobbies of all SpringHill Suites properties.
