Press Release Body: Embassy Suites, the leading brand of upscale, all-suite hotels, have announced the opening of the new Embassy Suites Tucson-Paloma Village in Tucson, Arizona. The 119-suite hotel is owned by Tucson-based Scotia Group and is managed by Grace Hospitality.

“We are pleased to add this stellar hotel to our portfolio and offer visitors to Tucson another upscale lodging option,” said Jim Holthouser, senior vice president, brand management, Embassy Suites. “As a growing brand both nationally and internationally, one of our areas of focus has been the Southwest, and Tucson is a prime location for another Embassy Suites.”

Hotel general manager, Jeff Zelkin, added, “The two-room suites are ideal for both business travelers and leisure travelers alike. Business travelers will benefit from our complimentary hotel business center, registration kiosk and boarding pass printing. Families love the space of the suites, the complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast, the evening manager’s reception and our beautiful outdoor pool, hot tub and courtyard.”

The new Embassy Suites hotel is a part of the Paloma Village mixed use development in Tucson, featuring Flemings Prime Steakhouse, a variety of trendy retailers, art galleries, and is minutes from the University of Arizona, Sabino Canyon and Catalina State Park, downtown, Tucson International Airport and much more.
