GRAND RAPIDS, MI. July 18, 2016 - Homewood Suites by Hilton, part of Hilton Worldwide's (NYSE: HLT) industry-first All Suites portfolio, announced today its newest property, Homewood Suites by Hilton Grand Rapids Downtown. Offering 110 new suites, the hotel continues the brand's robust urban expansion in downtown markets after reaching its 400th property milestone.

"2015 was a record-breaking year for Michigan tourism, surpassing 113 million visitors and $37.8 billion in tourism spending*," said Adrian Kurre, global head, Homewood Suites and Home2 Suites. "Grand Rapids plays a key role in this tourism growth as a desirable downtown destination. Expansion in this market was a natural next step for Homewood Suites' as we continue to expand our urban footprint."

Owned by GR HS, LLC and managed by Hospitality Specialists, Inc., Homewood Suites Grand Rapids Downtown also complements the city's economic growth as it is one of the strongest economics in the nation.**

The new hotel offers a combination of studio, one- and two-bedroom accommodations, featuring fully-equipped kitchens, and separate living and sleeping areas.
