Lexington Continues Growth with Opening of Four Properties
CLEVELAND - March 13, 2014 - Lexington by VantageSM, a collection of inns and hotels with suite extensions and a Legacy soft branding option, has maintained its consistent growth with the opening of four properties and 290 rooms to the system. With its innovative brand affiliation, Lexington continues to attract hoteliers seeking an affordable alternative to traditional hotel franchising in the midscale to upscale segments.
Now proudly flying the Lexington flag are the Lexington Hotel & Suites in Fountain Hills, AZ (North Scottsdale area); the Lexington Inn & Suites in Joliet, IL (suburb of Chicago); and the Lexington Inn & Suites in Columbus, OH (less than eight miles from the Ohio Expo Center and The Ohio State University). In addition, a Lexington Inn was added in Ardmore, OK (located halfway between Dallas and Oklahoma City) and is expected to open in April.
“Hotel owners are continuing to hear about the successes that our members have had. They see our strong track record, our culture, and the impressive results. And they're taking advantage of our comprehensive resources that lead to long-term ROI, as opposed to other brands' short-term incentives that have long-term consequences,” said Lexington Group President Bill Hanley.
Lexington's Freestyle® Brand Affiliation offers low fees and flexible agreements, and allows members to be in business for themselves, not by themselves. Hoteliers also benefit from A Voice and A VoteSM in all major brand decisions, reasonable brand standards & PIPs, ongoing training and support, and the most advanced global CRS, powered by Sabre.
Lexington members enjoy an entirely new and innovative approach to national brand affiliation that lets them select the services, resources and revenue-generating programs to meet their specific market needs, which positively affects the owners' bottom-line.
