The Courtyard Atlanta Duluth Downtown, owned by Southeastern Real Estate Group and managed by LBA Hospitality, has been awarded the prestigious Diamond Circle Award by Marriott International, recognizing the hotel as one of the top-performing properties in the Marriott Select Brands portfolio.

The award was presented at the recent Marriott Select Brands Owner & Franchisee CONNECT Conference, where General Manager Joshlyn Villa accepted the honor on behalf of the hotel team. The Diamond Circle Award is Marriott's highest distinction for select-service hotels, given to hotels that consistently exceed expectations in guest satisfaction, revenue performance, and brand excellence. The hotel previously earned the Platinum Circle Award in both 2022 and 2023, making this year's Diamond win an even more significant achievement and a reflection of its continued growth and excellence.

"We're incredibly proud of the Courtyard Atlanta Duluth Downtown team for achieving this well-deserved honor," said Farrah Adams, Chief Operating Officer of LBA Hospitality. "The Diamond Circle Award is a testament to the hotel's high standards, strong leadership, and relentless focus on delivering excellent guest experiences."

Located in the heart of Downtown Duluth, the 100-room hotel opened in April 2021 as part of the city's broader revitalization efforts. Since then, it has earned praise for its modern design, exceptional service, and close connection to the local community.

"This recognition is incredibly meaningful to our entire team," said Joshlyn Villa, General Manager of Courtyard Atlanta Duluth Downtown. "Winning a Diamond Award is truly a team achievement, and I'm so proud of the care, consistency, and heart our associates bring every day. We're honored to represent Duluth and share this moment with our partners at Southeastern and LBA."
