StudioRes by Marriott celebrated the grand opening of its new, 124-room Cordova hotel earlier this week. 

The extended-stay hotel, located at 2260 Market Farms Drive, is the second StudioRes to open in Tennessee and the first in the Memphis area. The brand is focused on consumers who need a longer than typical hotel stay. 

“(StudioRes) is for the contractor who doesn’t want DoorDash food every night and wants to cook in their own kitchen, for the family who is getting ready to move into a new home but doesn’t want to pay two mortgages,” Porceanna Brounson, the hotel’s general manager, said.
