Collier County Government and Greater Naples Chamber partnered together and chose Residence Inn as the December 2023 Business of the Month. An award was presented to Residence Inn at the Collier County Board of County Commissioners meeting on December 12, 2023.

Each month, the award is presented to an organization that has enhanced the community through financial, volunteer, and active involvement in organizations and programs that assist in creating a better quality of life for all citizens in Collier County. The company chosen will also be featured at the following Wake Up Naples/Chamber Conversation event.

The Collier County Board of County Commissioners and Bethany Sawyer, VP of membership and investors at Greater Naples Chamber, presented Residence Inn with a commemorative plaque at the December 2023 County Commission meeting.

The Residence Inn by Marriott Naples is an extended stay all-suite hotel in the ParkShore Area. The hotel has been in business since 1999 and offers various spacious suite options such as a Studio Suite, One Bedroom, and a Two Bedroom Suite. Whether a guest is there for business or leisure, they can enjoy features such as a morning cold brew or a hot beverage, a daily breakfast buffet, a full kitchen and updated fitness center, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The Residence Inn has donated toiletries to St.Vincent de Paul, helping hundreds of families in Collier County. They also work directly with the CCPS Vocational Career Training Program and the students from Naples High School who do supervised work in the business center, kitchen, and pool area. This experience teaches the students about learning to be independent and what it means to be an associate and part of an organization and has provided a sense of belonging to the hotel family.

The hotel team has also partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters and hosted the Littled and Bigs in October of 2023. During this time, each department head provided a short presentation about their background, position, and responsibilities to the Littles in order to open up the minds of the Littles to the hospitality industry as a career choice.

Residence Inn will be acknowledged at the next Wake Up Naples.
