Marriott's PURE Guestrooms

The Atlanta Marriott Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center now offers 15 hypoallergenic guestrooms so allergy-prone travelers can breath easier, get a better night's sleep and wake up refreshed.

The hotel has installed PURE patented technology and ongoing maintenance to ensure these rooms remain 99.9% allergy free, promising:

* Air is continuously circulated and filtered for the best possible air quality

* Specially-sanitized surfaces minimize irritants, odors and contaminants

* All bedding and pillows are encased in a protective, hypoallergenic cover

* No offensive or strong odors


I recently stayed in a PURE room and the first thing that I noticed was that it looked like any other Marriott room, with the same comforts and conveniences. I might not have noticed it was PURE (though a placard is posted).

Marriott hotels are generally clean and comfortable and this Buckhead location is no exception. Lodging in a PURE room is like staying at a familiar friendly cozy space, not like entering a protective bubble.

Even the bathroom was stocked with the standard Marriott toiletry amenities from Bath & Body Works. While I happen to like these products and even the Marriott's choice of the Orange Ginger aroma, to better leverage the PURE theme perhaps all of the toiletries in PURE rooms should be perfume- and chemical-free allergen-free options for folks with sensitive skin. (FYI, I passed that recommendation onto the hotel, so if they make the change you can thank me.)
