Hampton Opens Five Hotels In September
MEMPHIS, TN, October 5, 2006. Hampton (www.hampton.com), the national brand of more than 1,350 mid-priced Hampton Inn(R) and Hampton Inn & Suites(R) hotels, has opened five properties in September 2006-- representing 434 new rooms. The new openings include two Hampton Inn hotels and three Hampton Inn & Suites properties. All openings are franchised newly constructed hotels.
"The great state of Texas is now home to 97 Hampton Hotels as we continue to grow our brand west of the Mississippi," said Phil Cordell, senior vice-president, Hampton brand management. "We are also making great development strides in the western United States with our Hampton Inn & Suites product--A typical Hampton Inn & Suites hotel offers at least 30 percent suites; but no more than 50 percent of the room mix, which leaves room for traditional spacious hotel rooms." added Cordell.
The next step for Hampton is the final stages of implementing its new bedding package, featuring 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. The new bedding package will be available at all Hampton hotels by year-end 2006.
