City Express by Marriott Conversion – Rancho Cucamonga, California

Project Overview

This City Express by Marriott conversion in Rancho Cucamonga, California marks our first completed project for this brand. Previously, the property operated as a Holiday Inn Express. We transformed it into a modern hotel aligned with City Express design standards.

As a result, the renovation enhances the guest experience and increases the value of the existing building. In addition, it demonstrates how strategic design can reposition an aging property.

Located in the Inland Empire, the hotel serves both business and leisure travelers. Meanwhile, Rancho Cucamonga continues to grow rapidly, increasing demand for updated hospitality spaces.

Therefore, we set a clear goal for this hotel conversion project. We modernized the property while elevating the guest arrival experience. Overall, the design reflects the clean, efficient, and welcoming identity of the City Express by Marriott brand.

Exterior Renovation and Brand Identity

First, we updated the exterior with a fresh paint palette inspired by City Express brand colors. This change improves curb appeal and strengthens brand recognition.

As a result, the redesigned façade creates a brighter and more modern arrival experience. In turn, the entry sequence now feels clean, welcoming, and intentional.

Moreover, this exterior renovation helps reposition the hotel in the competitive Southern California market. However, it still respects the existing architectural framework.

Lobby Renovation and Public Spaces

Inside, we redesigned the lobby to meet City Express by Marriott brand standards. As a result, the space now supports comfort, flexibility, and efficiency.

For example, guests can choose from multiple seating options. These include lounge seating, banquette dining, and communal tables. Each area supports different needs, from working to socializing.

Additionally, we selected durable hospitality materials for long-term performance. At the same time, modern lighting and clean lines create a fresh, contemporary look.

Market and Guest Amenities

Next, we added a self-service market and beverage area to the lobby. This allows guests quick access to snacks, drinks, and travel essentials.

In addition, custom millwork shelving and refrigerated displays organize the space. As a result, the product presentation feels both clean and visually appealing.

Ultimately, this feature adds convenience while enhancing the overall guest experience.

Reception and Arrival Experience

At the point of arrival, we redesigned the reception desk using warm wood millwork and clean stone surfaces. As a result, the space feels modern yet welcoming.

Behind the desk, the backdrop highlights City Express by Marriott branding. Therefore, it creates a strong first impression and reinforces brand identity.

A Milestone Hospitality Conversion

Importantly, this City Express by Marriott Rancho Cucamonga conversion represents a key milestone for our firm. It marks our first completed project under this brand.

Furthermore, the renovation shows how thoughtful design can transform an existing hotel. As a result, the property now aligns with a global hospitality standard while feeling fresh and relevant.
