SHELTON, CT—Officials of New Castle Hotels and Resorts today
announced it has assumed management of the 117-room Westport Inn in
Westport, Conn. The hotel is part of
the Ascend Collection of independent hotels.
“The
Westport Inn hits our sweet spot for high-potential hotels with significant

“We have established a record for successfully positioning and operating
independent hotels, particularly in this region, which is our base of operation.

“Because we own and operate a diverse portfolio that
includes independent and select service hotels in secondary markets, upper
upscale branded hotels in major destinations and historic/iconic resorts, our
team is able to draw from a vast array of experiences and quickly implement the
best strategy for a hotel going forward,” he added.
“A
hotel that’s named for the city it serves should be fully integrated into the
business and social communities of the town,” said Robert Pope, vice president,
sales and marketing for New Castle. “We have a team of hotel executives who are
experts in helping hotels gain their footing in the community, and I’m sure
that very soon the city of Westport and Westport Inn will be synonymous.”
Located off I-95 in the heart of Westport, Conn., the hotel
offers 6,000 square feet of meeting space, including the 3,200 square foot
Westport ballroom, the largest event space in the city.
The Westport Inn provides ”country inn”
touches such as feather bedding, loaner bicycles and maps and a collection of Academy Award winning
movies, along with contemporary complimentaries like in-room WIFI and a
corporate shuttle operating within a five mile radius of the hotel.
