growth into urban area development
Press
Release Body: Homewood Suites by Hilton, the
international brand of upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotels,
has opened the 150-suite Homewood Suites by Hilton
hotel San Diego – Airport/Liberty
Station. The hotel is owned by Liberty Station
HHG Hotel, LP and managed by Huntington Hotel Group.
As interest and growth in downtown areas have risen drastically
over the past several years, the urban market now offers a wealth
of potential extended stay business- an ideal opportunity for
Homewood Suites development. The brand also has a number of properties
situated in the heart of many downtown locations, putting visitors
right in the center of a wide variety of shopping, dining and
attractions.
“This
build demonstrates Homewood
Suites continued foray into a wide variety of markets,
and we are excited to offer this property as an attractive lodging
option to those visiting the Liberty Station area,” said
Rick Brown, general manager. “We are
thrilled to be part of Homewood Suites’ continued
growth and development.”
The
Homewood
Suites Liberty Station is the only “water-front”
extended stay hotel
in San Diego. Nestled along an esplanade and adjacent to a 125 acre
Park, the hotel is surrounded by beauty. A 9-hole golf course, the
USS Recruit and historic walking tours are all a part of the premier
destination known as Liberty Station. The area
is an urban redevelopment of historic Naval Training Center and
offers a unique San Diego experience. Additionally Liberty
Station is just down the street from downtown San Diego,
the popular Gaslamp Quarter and Seaport Village and minutes from
Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Cabrillo National Monument,
and several sunny beaches.
Unique
features at the hotel include outdoor fireplaces with patio seating
along the waterfront, a billiard room, two outdoor bay view terraces
with telescopes and seating, designed for relaxing and taking in
the San Diego views (1,000 sf each). Additionally, all guest rooms
feature 32” HD-LCD TV’s, stainless steal appliances
and many have balconies and bay-views.
Homewood
Suites has a number of hotels located in urban areas, including
Edgewater, NJ; Indianapolis-Downtown; Chicago-Downtown; and Seattle-Downtown.
Homewood
Suites recently completed Phase I of its Distinctly Homewood
upgrades – a five-year product enhancement program
launched in 2005 – which included upgrades to exercise facilities,
guest bathrooms and bedding packages at most hotels. Phase II is
now underway, which will include the addition of Dual Massage showerheads
by WaterPik and completion of bedding upgrades across remaining
hotels. Final completion is scheduled to coincide with the Homewood
Suites brand’s 20th anniversary in 2009. The brand
also collaborated with Hilton Hotels Corporation’s Supply
Management team and a top hospitality industry interior designer
to introduce three Distinctly Homewood guest suite concepts. The
FF&E packages give developers increased design flexibility while
reflecting the core elements of the Distinctly Homewood program
– Relevance, Consistency and Distinctiveness.
