Atwell Suites, part of IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), has announced the opening of its first Texas property in Austin. Atwell Suites Austin Airport has marked the third U.S. open property for the brand, following debuts in Miami and Denver.
The 80-room property is the brand’s first conversion property, and will bring a new kind of all-suite accommodation to the area. It is designed to support longer stays and allow for easy transition between business and leisure.
“The opening of the hotel at Austin Airport is an opportunity for us to showcase the flexibility our brand can offer potential owners and establish Atwell Suites as a distinctive choice among the upper midscale market with its modern design and fresh aesthetic," said Karen Gilbride, vice president of Atwell Suites.
"At IHG, we’ve seen great success with conversions in recent years – particularly during times of tighter financial lending environments. As we continue to see an increasing desire from owners in this space, we’re excited that Atwell Suites can provide this option.”
The hotel, which is conveniently located near Austin Bergstrom International Airport and less than 20 minutes from Downtown Austin, will offer the brand’s signature hallmarks for guests to enjoy flexible and enriching spaces, food and drink outlets available at all times of the day, and genuine connections between guests inspired by conversational starters throughout the property.
“We are elated to bring the Atwell brand to Austin and continue our strong relationship with IHG. Atwell Suites is a fresh, new brand that we feel both business and leisure travellers will love to experience while exploring all that this fast-growing city has to offer,” said Hiren Patel, owner of Atwell Suites Austin Airport.
The opening of the hotel is the latest of exciting milestones for the brand, with over 40 additional properties in the pipeline, including three recent groundbreakings in Las Vegas, Nev., Henderson, Nev., Kansas City, Mo., and Fort Worth, Texas.
