Embassy Suites Fayetteville/Fort Bragg Breaks Ground
Hotel to Debut as First Upscale, All-suites Property in Fayetteville Area
February 9, 2011 - MBM Hospitality, LLC, and Embassy Suites Hotels recently broke ground on the 165-suite Embassy Suites Fayetteville/Fort Bragg located at 4760 Lake Valley Drive, Fayetteville, North Carolina. The hotel is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2012. Once open, it will be the eighth Embassy Suites location in the state, but only the second location to reflect the brand's latest prototype design - Design Option III. The full service, all-suites hotel will have almost 9,000 square feet of conference space.
Present at the groundbreaking were key stakeholders from ownership group MBM Hospitality, LLC, management company Five Points Hospitality and Metcon Construction. While the Fayetteville property is the first Embassy Suites hotel for MBM Hospitality, LLC, and Five Points Hospitality, neither group is new to the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of brands, as they already own and manage, respectively, the Hilton Garden Inn Fayetteville/Fort Bragg, and Five Points Hospitality manages the Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville/Orange Park.
“We are pleased to break ground on the first Embassy Suites hotel in our portfolio,” said Manish Mehta, principal - MBM Hospitality, LLC. “Our partnership with Hilton Worldwide brands is a fruitful one and we are proud to expand that relationship to bring the unique upscale, all-suites product only offered by Embassy Suites Hotels to the Fayetteville/Fort Bragg area.”
The new hotel will be constructed and designed in the brand's Design Option III style, which offers, among many other benefits to guests, more natural light in both public and guest room areas. For developers the design is an innovative and flexible approach to building out the hotel, lowering construction costs and the actual amount of land needed, while keeping all of the benefits that are inherent in an Embassy Suites hotel.
“We're thrilled to partner with Five Points Hospitality and MBM Hospitality, LLC to bring a Design Option III Embassy Suites hotel to the Fayetteville/Fort Bragg area of North Carolina,” said Jim Holthouser, global head of Embassy Suites Hotels and full service brands, Hilton Worldwide. “They are capitalizing on the diverse top in class brands available within our organization and our collaboration is a true example of how we support our partners through successful transitions within the company, striving to meet the needs and wants of every developer.”
The hotel will offer all of the signature features of Embassy Suites Hotels, including spacious two-room suites, complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and evening Manager's Reception*, and complimentary use of a state-of-the-art Precor fitness center, an indoor swimming pool and a business center. The hotel will also feature Embassy Suites' own Flying Spoons restaurant, a hip casual dining option perfect for business and leisure travelers.
Conveniently situated off the All American Freeway, the hotel offers ideal proximity for both business and leisure travelers. The nearby Cross Creek Mall presents a variety of shops and restaurants and there are a diverse range of major corporations, healthcare providers and facilities and military contractors in the area. The hotel is also located within two miles of Fort Bragg.
