Double good news for Marriott International Inc. Not only did it officially open its doors yesterday to the tallest hotel in New York — a 68-story property that climbs nearly 753 feet into the skyline at Broadway and 54th Street. But also, the combination Courtyard by Marriott/Residence Inn joined a growing trend of dual-branded hotels nationwide, an economic response by the hospitality industry to reduce the high costs of building and running hotels by sharing buildings, meeting rooms, recreation rooms and staff.
