February 2, 2010 - Embassy Suites Hotels yesterday announced the opening of the Embassy Suites Palmdale, featuring the brand's first Design Option III Prototype build in the state of California. The 30th Embassy Suites in the state, the upscale property is located just off Interstate 14, nestled in the beautiful Antelope Valley at 39375 5th Street West. Embassy Suites Palmdale is managed by Sun Development & Management Company of Indianapolis, IN. The property marks Sun Development & Management Company's first of three Embassy Suites to open in 2010, with others slated to open in Ontario, CA, and Elizabeth, NJ, in the third quarter of this year. The property is owned by the Palmdale Lodging Associates, LLC.

Embassy Suites Palmdale is an upscale, full-service, all-suites property, featuring 150 suites and 3,032 sq. ft. of meeting space, with banquet space among four separate rooms. The property contains some of the largest rooms of any hotel in Palmdale.

“We are thrilled to expand our presence in California with the new Embassy Suites Palmdale, the brand's first Design Option III prototype in the state,” said Jim Holthouser, global head of full-service brands, Hilton Worldwide. “With close to 75 percent of our development pipeline of nearly 50 hotels featuring the Design Option III build, we know we have hit upon a winner - developers are seeing the potential for a tremendous product with great value in the new option.”

The hotel's Design Option III prototype allows guests the same comfort and convenience as traditional Embassy Suites properties using a more cost effective, scalable model.

“The Embassy Suites Palmdale offers business and leisure travelers to the Antelope Valley a tremendous value, providing an upscale experience, with modern amenities and a convenient location,” said General Manager Randy Keller. “The property includes spacious two-room suites with dedicated work and living spaces; high-speed Internet access; complimentary cook-to-order breakfast and evening Manager's Reception*, as well as a prime location near many of the area's large corporations.”

Just sixty miles north of Los Angeles in the High Desert region of Los Angeles County, the property offers travelers reprieve from the congestion of the city yet the convenience of LA's business, culture and entertainment centers. Embassy Suites Palmdale is conveniently located near the major aerospace companies in the area including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, NASA and Edwards Air Force base, making it an ideal choice for business travelers. Also located a short distance from the hotel are the Antelope Valley College, Pepperdine and DeVry universities, the Lancaster National Soccer Center, Big 8 Softball Complex, Rancho Vista Golf Course, Dry Town Water Park and Palmdale Regional Airport, providing leisure travelers with both convenience and value.

“We are proud to bring the outstanding Embassy Suites hospitality to Palmdale and look forward to continuing our expansion of the brand in 2010 and beyond,” said Chris Mayer, president for Sun Development & Management Corp. “With such a strong base of loyal consumers and brand recognition, we are confident that the Embassy Suites brand will thrive in Palmdale.”
