Residence Inn by Marriott held a grand celebration at their Midtown Manhattan location to announce Actress and NYT Best Seller, La La Anthony as the 2016 Resident Mom of the Year. La La has had an impressive career trajectory, from radio and television personality; to actress and beauty entrepreneur; to best-selling author and producer. Her most important roles, however, remain closer to home as a mom to her son Kiyan and wife to her husband and Basketball Player, Carmelo Anthony.
The Resident Mom award, now in its sixth year, highlights the brand’s continued commitment to celebrating moms. Residence Inn makes family travel easier and enables moms to maximize their time with select conveniences and services including: free hot breakfast and Wi-Fi; fitness centers; pools and complimentary grocery delivery service. Most importantly, spacious suites complete with full kitchens give families the opportunity to spread out and live better during extended stays. |
La La is inspiring. She thrives as an accomplished businesswoman and role model who encourages women and mothers, in particular, to forge their path. Throughout her career she has devoted equal parts of her time to work, home and fun, and employs this balance even when traveling. Her busy career often means celebrating holidays on the road with her family, and the superstar has picked up a few tricks along the way. Today, La La will unveil La La’s Lists, a series of curated grocery delivery lists exclusive to Residence Inn. From signature beverages, including Shirley-La’s Temples, to holiday treats such as peanut butter cup pilgrim hats and fun ideas for children’s birthdays, La La’s Lists provide creative concepts for milestone occasions.
“Travel is a central part of my family’s lives. Whether it’s acting on location, sourcing materials from around the world for my beauty and clothing lines or accompanying my husband during the basketball season, I am always on the go,” said La La. “I appreciate Residence Inn and how the brand helps travelers, especially busy moms, navigate life on the road with time-saving amenities in stylish settings, which means I can spend my trip exploring new destinations and focusing on quality time with loved ones.”
“La La exemplifies what it means to be Resident Mom of the Year,” said Diane Mayer, Vice President and Global Brand Manager, Residence Inn. “She has proven that dedication and hard work can drive success and propel you to reach your goals. La La is a devoted mom and wife who balances her career and family, and yet, still finds time for fun and discovery. This strikes a chord for many moms, and is a perfect fit for Residence Inn, a brand that understands the importance of maximizing time and thriving while on the road.”
During the celebration at the spacious penthouse suite at Residence Inn New York / Manhattan Midtown East, guests were glammed with GLAMSQUAD mini make-overs using MOTIVES by La La beauty products and treated to signature beverages and treats.
