Harrisburg, PA —Officials of Shaner Hotels, an award
winning, international hotel owner, operator and developer, announced the
opening of the 123-room Fairfield Inn & Suites Harrisburg. Owned and
operated by Shaner Hotels, the hotel is located on land leased from the
Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority (SARAA), a joint-municipal
authority that operates four regional airports.

“No longer will visitors have to travel nearly ten
miles for a place to stay. Not only does this make life more convenient
for travelers, but it also improves the practicality of the airport itself.”
“Our portfolio now includes four hotels in Central Pa., and we maintain an
active pipeline with additional projects in the area, including a project in
Mechanicsburg that we plan to break ground on shortly,” added Lance Shaner,
chairman and CEO.
“Beyond sharing best practices and economies of
scale, the Fairfield Inn & Suites Harrisburg will benefit from its
proximity to the airport, literally connected to the airport terminals via
walkway, as well as the fact that it is the first Marriott-branded hotel near
the airport.”

international portfolio of select- and full-service hotels located in key
markets with strong demand generators and high barriers to entry,” said Plato
Ghinos, Shaner president.

"We are confident the hotel quickly will become the
market leader for Harrisburg-area visitors.”
HIA serves central Pennsylvania, making it the state’s third busiest
airport. All major airlines have hub locations at the airport, including
non-stop international flights to Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Additionally, FedEx and UPS have extensive facilities at the airport, which also serves as a take-off/landing practice runway for Air Force One.
