IHG’s Atwell Suites Expands Footprint With Three New Hotels in Dynamic Travel Hubs
Atwell Suites announced expansion of its U.S. presence with the upcoming openings of three new hotels in Kansas City, Mo., Henderson, Nev., and Fort Worth, Texas. These additions build upon previously opened properties in Miami, Denver and Austin, further expanding IHG Hotels & Resorts' all-suites, upper-midscale hotel brand.
These properties include:
Atwell Suites - Kansas City Airport, owned by Hotel KCI LLC, is now open. This 104-room hotel is minutes from Kansas City International Airport and historic downtown. With the city's rich jazz heritage, famous BBQ, vibrant arts scene, and strong business sectors in technology, healthcare, and manufacturing, Atwell Suites is the perfect choice for both business and leisure travelers.
Atwell Suites - Henderson at the Pass, operating under the ownership of DeSimone Companies, is set to open early November. The 90-room hotel is adjacent to both The Pass Casino and America First Center. Its proximity to major convention centers and attractions in Las Vegas makes it an ideal choice for travelers looking for a quieter retreat from the Strip.
Atwell Suites Fort Worth - Alliance Area, owned by Sequoia Hospitality, is set to open in November. This 96-room hotel is just a short drive from Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport and the city's central business district. Visitors can explore the Fort Worth Stockyards, cultural attractions like the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum or enjoy live music in the Historic Fort Worth Theater District.
The latest openings are part of a growing pipeline that will see Atwell Suites open more than 50 properties across the U.S. in the coming years in destinations such as Las Vegas, Nev., Colorado Springs, Colo., and Cheyenne, Wyo.
Karen Gilbride, VP, Atwell Suites, avid hotels and Garner hotels at IHG Hotels & Resorts said: "At IHG, we've been deeply committed to filling a growing need in the all-suites category and expanding our upper-midscale segment, as it's one we know well and continue to see strong interest in from both owners and guests. Atwell Suites' growth momentum is a testament to that focus. We're looking forward to the opportunity to introduce more travelers to the Atwell Suites brand, and to showcase our inspiring design and unique position in the market."
Created to deliver a new kind of all-suite accommodations, in a rapidly growing segment, Atwell Suites hotels are thoughtfully designed for guests seeking an inspiring space to work, recharge, find balance, as well as learn, grow, and discover something new as they travel. Fun fact, each hotel location offers unique surprises throughout the property, including hidden messages within the artwork for guests to discover, enhancing their experience and connection to the destination.
The brand's signature features support longer stays and allow guests to easily flex between and leisure. Modern suites include a functional workspace and a lounge area with thoughtful touches, like a gallery wall above the sofa—perfect for virtual meetings. Public spaces incorporate huddle areas, a TV lounge with board games and puzzles, coworking zones, and a versatile meeting room known as ‘The Study' that can accommodate up to eight people, all designed to promote productivity, collaboration, and comfort.
Gary Mack, owner, Hotel KCI LLC: "The KCI Corridor has seen significant growth recently. With our proximity to Kansas City International Airport and the influx of businesses establishing a presence in the area, we've become a prime destination for travelers seeking longer stays. Opening the first Atwell Suites in Kansas City and deepening our partnership with IHG was a clear choice. This hotel will offer a unique stay experience with spaces designed for productivity, relaxation, socialization, and everything in between."
