MEMPHIS, TN—Hilton Garden Inn, the global brand of upscale, yet affordable hotels, announced the brand’s 500th hotel opening, the 118-room Hilton Garden Inn Charlotte/Concord (top left photo) in North Carolina.
Over the past 14 years, the Hilton Garden Inn brand has become one of the fastest-growing brands in the hospitality industry, with hotels either opened or soon to open in 11 countries around the world.
The landmark 500th hotel is owned by Griffin Stafford Lodging One, LLC, a Charlotte-based real estate development firm that specializes in extended-stay and focused-service hotels, and is managed by Griffin Stafford Management.
“When Hilton Garden Inn was launched in 1996, we set out to create a new standard in mid-priced hotels, and our successful growth to 500 hotels in just 14 years confirms the achievement of that vision,” said Adrian Kurre, (bottom left photo) Global Head, Hilton Garden Inn.
“Since its launch, the brand has truly listened to the needs and wants of both our guests and franchisees, and as a result has consistently been at the leading edge of industry trends — from providing innovative beds and ergonomic Herman Miller Mirra® desk chairs, to small comforts in the room for travelers like refrigerators and microwaves.”
The hotel was built by Charlotte-based Concorde Construction Inc., which worked tirelessly to ensure sustainability efforts were put into place during the construction process. In all, more than 468,000 pounds of construction waste was recycled and diverted from landfills, representing 92 percent of the total construction waste. Contact:
