SpringHill Suites is part of the Marriott International family of hotels.

In 1998, Marriott International announced plans to convert Fairfield Suites to SpringHill Suites by Marriott. By doing so, Marriott hoped to capture a share in the upper moderate-priced all-suite lodging segment of the hotel industry. In 1999, its first fiscal year, six managed and twenty-eight franchised locations made up the thirty-four total SpringHill Suites properties. Seven years later, in 2006, that number had increased by nearly five times, with 153 properties operating under the SpringHill Suites banner in North America. As of May 28, 2008 there are 190 total SpringHill Suites in North America. All properties feature a Suite Sensations hot breakfast buffet, most have a pool and exercise room, and all feature complimentary high-speed internet access. In contrast to its sibling brands, Residence Inn and TownePlace Suites, which are extended-stay properties, SpringHill Suites competes with mainstream suite hotel brands, such as Embassy Suites and Hawthorn Suites.
