SpringHill Suites is part of the Marriott International family of hotels. The chain, geared toward the upper-moderate lodging segment of the hospitality industry, features all-suite hotels, each offering free hot breakfast, complimentary Wi-Fi, a fitness center and a 24-hour market. As of 2016, SpringHill Suites operates more than 350 hotels throughout the United States and Canada.
In 1999, its first fiscal year, there were 34 total SpringHill Suites properties — six managed locations and 28 franchised locations. By 2006 that number increased nearly fivefold, with 153 properties. The 300th SpringHill Suites opening was in May 2013 in New York City. In 2016 the downtown San Diego property opened and was the 3,000th Marriott hotel to open in the select service/extended-stay category. As of 2016 there are more than 350 SpringHill Suites properties throughout North America.
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.

The brand has experienced robust growth across the U.S., with new properties in Midtown Manhattan, NY; San Diego Downtown/Bayfront, CA; and Denver Downtown, CO. The first New York City property for the brand overlooks the Empire State Building and infuses the poem “Spring” by Walt Whitman into the design. Another notable property is Denver Downtown, the state’s first teaching hotel. Connected to Denver State Metro University, every hospitality student at the school works at the hotel, and student artwork is featured throughout.
