Hampton Opened 19 Hotels In July and August
SEPTEMBER 12, 2007. Hampton, the national brand of more than 1,400 mid-priced Hampton Inn(R) and Hampton Inn & Suites(R) hotels, opened 19 properties in July and August 2007-representing 1,677 new rooms. The new openings include nine Hampton Inn hotels and 10 Hampton Inn & Suites properties. All openings are franchised, newly constructed hotels.
"The summer of 2007 has seen a lot of Hampton Hotel development, and we are thrilled with our recent 19 new openings including our newest urban property the Hampton Inn Atlanta-Georgia Tech/ Downtown and our 20th Canadian property the Hampton Inn London, Ontario," said Phil Cordell, senior vice-president, Hampton brand management. "We are now represented in five provinces across Canada, and we still see tremendous potential here. Canada is a priority market for us, as it generally is underserved by branded hotels, particularly in the mid-market, focused-service segment."
From a product development standpoint, Hampton has achieved full implementation of its bedding package, "Cloud Nine - the Hampton bed experience," which features a crisp, white duvet cover enveloping a plush, 200-thread-count comforter, white sheets and the guest's choice of down or foam jumbo size pillows. For consumers who would like to take their hotel room experience home with them, Hampton has a new program available online at www.hamptonhomecollection.com, where many of Hampton Hotels' guestroom amenities are available for purchase.
