Case Study

Courtyard Marriott Paramaribo PIP

As part of a global brand refresh, Courtyard by Marriott Paramaribo underwent a Property Improvement Project (PIP) to align with Marriott’s latest Generation 6.5 design standards. The renovation aimed to enhance the overall guest experience by modernizing the property’s lighting throughout guest rooms, corridors, and public spaces. To meet these requirements, the hotel partnered with Project Lighting Solutions to supply and install a complete lighting upgrade.

The Challenge

The existing lighting at Courtyard Marriott Paramaribo no longer met the updated design and brand standards set by Marriott International. The hotel required a full replacement of all lighting systems as part of its PIP initiative. This included delivering customized solutions for a variety of areas, ranging from guest rooms and hallways to common areas, while minimizing disruption to ongoing hotel operations and maintaining the brand’s hospitality-focused environment.

Our Solution

Project Lighting Solutions was selected to manage the removal of outdated lighting and the full installation of new systems in accordance with Marriott's Generation 6.5 guidelines. Our team ensured all fixtures met the aesthetic and functional requirements of the brand, while also being energy-efficient and durable. We coordinated closely with on-site teams to manage timelines, reduce downtime, and deliver a seamless transition to the upgraded systems.

The Design

Warm color temperatures were chosen to complement the natural wood tones and maintain a sacred ambiance. Each fixture was discreetly installed to preserve the building’s visual integrity during the day. The result is a subtle yet powerful nighttime presence that honors the Cathedral’s heritage.

The Design

The lighting design was developed in strict alignment with Marriott’s Generation 6.5 brand standards. All fixtures, finishes, and placements were selected to match the specified aesthetic and functional requirements. Layouts were created to deliver the right balance of task lighting and ambient comfort in each space. Guest rooms, corridors, and public areas all received brand-approved, energy-efficient LED fixtures.

The Installation

Installation was carried out with careful coordination to minimize disruption to hotel operations and ensure a smooth transition. We managed the complete removal of the existing lighting systems and installed all new fixtures in compliance with Marriott’s Generation 6.5 standards. Each component—from bedside and desk lamps to corridor and outdoor lighting—was installed with precision and attention to detail.

Lighting Controls

In line with Marriott’s global commitment to energy efficiency, smart lighting controls were integrated to enhance the performance of the newly installed LED lighting systems. These controls ensure that lighting is only activated in the areas and at the times it is needed, including guest rooms, corridors, and public spaces. This intelligent approach helps reduce unnecessary energy consumption, extends the lifespan of fixtures, and supports the hotel’s broader sustainability goals while maintaining the comfort and quality expected from the Courtyard brand.

The Result

Courtyard Marriott Paramaribo now features an upgraded lighting system that elevates the guest experience and aligns with the latest Marriott brand standards. The lighting enhances room comfort, improves energy efficiency, and contributes to a more modern and inviting hotel environment. Project Lighting Solutions successfully delivered a turnkey lighting solution that supports the hotel’s long-term operational goals and reinforces its commitment to quality hospitality.
