Chattanooga-based Vision Hospitality Group, Inc., in partnership with Eraa Hospitality, also based in Chattanooga, recently broke ground on the TownePlace Suites by Marriott Tuscaloosa, AL. The 93-suite hotel marks Vision's entrance into the Alabama market.
The TownePlace Suites is located in Tuscaloosa, home to the University of Alabama. The progressive city sees substantial traffic from the award-winning SEC football program as well as leisure travelers visiting the area's historic and cultural attractions; these include the Alabama Museum of Natural History, Paul W. Bryant Museum, and Tuscaloosa Amphitheater.
"As the top sports destination in the state, over half a million visitors pass through Tuscaloosa every year," said Mitch Patel, President & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group. "We are excited to join the community by offering fans and families visiting the campus, a new, extended stay experience."
In addition, the TownePlace Suites will benefit from the recent Mercedes Benz expansion and will provide corporate travelers with a convenient alternative to typical hotel accommodations.
