Little Rock Marriott, AR (formerly Peabody) [Master Thread]
I am going to a meeting in Little Rock, AR and was told to make a reservation at the Peabody/Marriott and the number provided was for the Peabody. I called and reservations confirmed that they were transitioning into a Marriott. They are not yet listed on the Marriott webpage but here is one notice:

Having a FS Marriott in Little Rock would be great. I stop off there quite often as it is the half-way point between Dallas and Nashville (and we usually drive to Nashville 3 or 4 times a year.)

It's accurate, just do a google news search.

Might take up to 6 months, though.

Typically, since it appears that Marriott is entering into a Management Agreement rather than owning and managing the property, they will not release any statements. Instead, they will have the ownership of the property respond to media inquiries.
I am sure there was some heavy negotiating with this deal.

Management
Looks like Fairwood Capital is purchasing the property, and Davidson Hotels & Resorts will be managing it

I am excited to finally see a FS Marriott Hotel in the state of Arkansas. The owners seemed to hint at a 1st quarter transition of this year, which would be great!
