“We are seeing increased interest in development in the
current phase of the hotel economic cycle which matches up well with one of our
areas of management strength—new hotels.”
said Joseph Bojanowski, PMHS president.
“PHMS has been involved in the development of more than 20
successful hotels over the past decade, all of which have produced excellent
returns. We have a full range of development expertise, including assisting
with site and brand selection, financing, construction oversight and
pre-opening.”
Details about the New York properties, which will be
upscale, have yet to be announced.
The Delaware properties include the 180-room, four-star Westin
Wilmington, which will be connected to the Chase Convention Center
on the Riverfront, with a planned opening in the first quarter of 2014.

“The Riverfront
District is undertaking one of the nation’s most dynamic make-overs to create
an entirely new urban environment. The
Westin will play a key role in further enhancing this resurging area,” he
said.
In nearby Newark, Del., PMHS is providing pre-opening
services for the 136-room Hampton Inn & Suites Christiana, which is
under construction, and will operate the hotel following its expected opening
in the second quarter of 2014.
“Our long-standing and strong relationship with Hilton
Worldwide helped secure the Hampton Inn brand,” Bojanowski noted. “We have
developed proprietary systems that help us accelerate the ramp-up period and
move properties into the black quickly.
We know the East Coast markets well and believe both of these properties
will be well received.”
