Hampton(r) Hotels Open 15 Properties in May 2008



MEMPHIS, TN—Hampton Hotels (www.hampton.com), the national brand of more than 1,500 mid-priced Hampton Inn® and Hampton Inn & Suites® hotels, opened 15 properties in May 2008, representing 1,279 new rooms.

The new openings include eight Hampton Inn hotels and seven Hampton Inn & Suites properties. All openings are franchised, newly constructed hotels except for one; the 120-room Hampton Virginia Beach-Oceanfront North, (above photo) a conversion.

“The demand for focused-service hotels is at a particular high during this phase of the hotel industry cycle, when financing for such projects remains easier to find,” said Phil Cordell, (top right photo) senior vice president, Hampton Hotels.

“This is the strongest month for individual openings we have experienced in the past few years and we expect this trend to continue for the foreseeable future.”
