Lanting Launches Stay a New Hotel/Hostel Hybrid
LOS ANGELES, CA, October 15, 2008. Lanting Hotel Group, Inc. ("LHG") has launched a new hotel/youth hostel hybrid brand, known as Stay, with the unveiling of a 138-room prototype property in downtown Los Angeles. The company hired designers Catherine Coan and Amy Price to design a boutique lodging facility for the savvy, modern traveler. Stay offers travelers an exciting, youthful lodging alternative, an edgy feel, and a spectrum of available room types.
LHG is a hotel owner and operator based in Los Angeles, California which specializes in the renovation, repositioning and operation of financially-distressed hotels. Over the past 25 years, William Lanting, President of LHG, has successfully rescued many hotels which were in a seriously distressed condition. Most of the projects undertaken by the firm have been closed and/or foreclosed properties which were lacking in funding, direction, and leadership.
The very first Stay offers a menu approach to accommodation selection. Depending upon budget and lifestyle, guests can choose from a wide array of room types and amenities, from private rooms with private baths to shared rooms with shared baths down the hall. Stay is youthful, high-energy, and high-tech. Rooms are simple, stylish, and inexpensive. Stay offers convenient accommodations for the hip and spendthrifty traveler. In-the-know 18-30 year old international travelers and domestic travelers looking for modern, upscale accommodations on a budget will appreciate our variety of room types and options.
Located in downtown Los Angeles, Stay is situated near the Los Angeles Convention Center, The Staples Center, LA Live, the fabric district, the jewelry district, the flower mart, The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Little Tokyo, Chinatown, and the new Broadway theater district.
