Press
Release Body: Homewood Suites by Hilton, the international
brand of upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotels, is continuing
its international expansion with the opening of its first property
in Mexico, located in the burgeoning business hub of Torreon, Coahuila.
The 102-suite property is located within an innovative new entertainment
complex called Intermall Laguna, a 26,000-square meter facility
that will revitalize the Torreon area by providing more than 2,000
new jobs, and attract both business travellers and tourists.
“Homewood
Suites has been leading an aggressive growth strategy
that has steered unprecedented expansion, year after year since
2000, recently reaching a milestone opening with its 200th property
in June 2007,” remarked Rebecca Wyatt, senior
vice president of brand management. “Homewood
Suites by Hilton Torreon is another major development
milestone, marking the first of several Homewood Suites
properties planned for Mexico, as well as continuing the brand’s
movement towards international growth.”
The
five-story hotel offers 102 guest suites, comprised of 97 two-room
suites, four two-bedroom suites and one Presidential suite, an exercise
facility, putting green, outdoor pool with sand and a poolside bar.
The Presidential suite and poolside bar are new features for the
brand. No other property in the Homewood Suites
family features them, and they are prominent examples of how the
brand has taken into consideration the influence and tradition of
the local culture. However, the property will still incorporate
all the homelike amenities of a traditional Homewood Suites,
including the Suite Start breakfast, Welcome Home reception, complimentary
grocery shopping service, complimentary high-speed internet, and
more. The Suite Start breakfast and Welcome Home reception will
feature at least one local dish.
Torreon
is one of the most important industrial complexes in Mexico, populated
by more than 1,500 enterprises in 13 industrial sectors. The hotel
is located in an area of emerging development in Torreon, adjacent
to Hospital Angeles. The Intermall Laguna complex has already sold
98 percent of its occupancy and will feature an Applebee’s,
a small amusement park, as well as an ice rink, Imax theatre –
one of only seven in the country – and dozens of retail shops.
Also located in the area are 19 universities, professional soccer,
baseball and basketball teams and several golf courses.
In
addition to the Mexico development, Homewood Suites
currently has six properties open in Canada, with two more in the
development pipeline.
Launched
in 1989, the Homewood
Suites by Hilton upscale hotel brand today has more
than 210 hotels open with another 125 in the development pipeline
in various stages of construction. Beyond its spacious suites and
home-like amenities, Homewood Suites guests can
find at each hotel an on-site Suite Shop convenience store, fitness
center and guest laundry at most locations. Guests can also enjoy
a daily complimentary Suite Start hot breakfast and a Welcome Home
reception featuring a complimentary light meal and beverages Monday-Thursday
evenings. Additional guest services at Homewood Suites by
Hilton hotels include a complimentary grocery shopping
service* and a complete business center at most locations.
