Harrisburg, PA, June 19,
2017— Officials of Shaner Hotels, an award winning, international hotel owner,
operator and developer, today announced the groundbreaking of the 120-room
Fairfield Inn & Suites Harrisburg.
Located at the Harrisburg International Airport
(HIA) Airport, the four-story hotel is owned by Shaner Hotels on land leased
from the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA), a joint-municipal
authority that operates four regional airports.
The property will be managed by Shaner and was
financed by Kish Bank based in State College, Pa.
“The Fairfield Inn & Suites
Harrisburg provides an important component for HIA’s continued growth as the
first hotel to be located adjacent to the airport,” said Timothy Edwards, HIA executive director.
“Currently, the closest hotel is approximately
seven miles away, which can prove inconvenient for arriving and departing
travelers. We did considerable research
regarding demand for a hotel, the proper segment and an operator with knowledge
of the market and an excellent reputation.
We believe this property will enhance the airport’s capabilities and
stimulate further growth in the area.”

“With our headquarters in
State College, this hotel really is part of our extended hometown, an area in
which we have operated for more than two decades,” added Lance Shaner, chairman and CEO.
“In addition to being literally connected to
the airport terminals via walkway, the hotel will be the first Marriott-branded
hotel near the airport, which we expect to stimulate additional demand.
"This marks our fourth property in Central
Pa., with an additional project slated to commence in Mechanicsburg in the near
future. We look forward to being good
neighbors and active members of the community for years to come.”
Located adjacent to the
Harrisburg International Airport (HIA), the site is just steps from the
Middletown business community and Penn State Harrisburg Campus.
The proposed property will
feature such amenities as on-site laundry, fitness room, business center and
1,600 square feet of meeting space. As
with all Fairfield Inn & Suites, guests will enjoy a daily, complimentary
breakfast, as well as a lobby lounge and full-service bar that offers a wide
array of drinks and small bites food menu.
