Hampton Hotels, the global brand of more than 1,800 mid-priced Hampton Inn, Hampton Inn & Suites and Hampton by Hilton hotels, opened 14 new properties during the second quarter of 2011, totaling 1,311 new rooms.
“We saw a valuable increase in the number of U.S. hotel openings this past quarter,” said Phil Cordell, global head, focused service and Hampton brand. “Hampton’s continued growth is a true testament to the brand’s value for both hotel owners and guests alike.”
All new Hampton hotels feature the brand’s latest design initiatives, including the Perfect Mix Lobby and Jump Start Fitness facilities. Each zone of the Perfect Mix Lobby – the welcome desk, breakfast serving and dining areas – is intended to create an inviting space that ultimately becomes an extension of the guest room and promotes socialization. A mix of comfort and utility seating styles, highlighted by the community table with bar-height stools, are available to accommodate both business and leisure travelers.
The Jump Start Fitness facility also showcases an innovative design that offers guests a quality experience, regardless of their preferred workout style. Cardio and strength training are supported with professional-grade equipment, with the added availability of core and balance training products. The Jump Start Fitness facility also features exercise safe flooring, a flat panel LCD TV, stylized mirrors and a streamlined layout all geared to optimize each guest’s workout routine.
