DoubleTree by Hilton and Holiday Inn Ottawa East represent 14% of Holloway Lodging Corporation's total rooms and are located in attractive markets with strong business drivers.
HALIFAX – Holloway Lodging Corporation announce that it has fully re-opened the DoubleTree by Hilton in London, Ontario and the Holiday Inn Ottawa East in Ottawa, Ontario following extensive renovations.
The DoubleTree by Hilton (formerly the Hilton hotel) has 323 rooms, over 30,000 sf of meeting and banquet space and features Blake’s restaurant and bar. As part of the renovation, Holloway upgraded the hotel’s public spaces, guestrooms and food and beverage outlets and added a licensed and operated Starbucks location in the lobby. The DoubleTree by Hilton is attached to the City Center office complex and the London Convention Centre and remains the premier hotel in the City of London.
The Holiday Inn Ottawa East (formerly the non-branded Chimo hotel) has 261 rooms, over 8,500 sf of meeting and banquet space and features Reza’s Kitchen & Drinks restaurant and bar. As part of the renovation, Holloway upgraded the hotel’s public spaces, guestrooms, restaurant and pool and fitness facilities. The Holiday Inn Ottawa East is located adjacent to Highway 417 and across from the National Capital Region’s largest mall, the St. Laurent Centre.
Michael Rapps, Chairman of Holloway, stated: “The opening of our new DoubleTree by Hilton and Holiday Inn Ottawa East is a significant milestone for Holloway. These hotels represent 14% of our total rooms and are located in attractive markets with strong business drivers. We anticipate that the financial performance of each of these hotels will materially exceed their performance prior to the renovations and rebrandings. We want to thank all of our staff that worked on these renovation projects over the last year as well as those staff members that were impacted by the hotels’ closures during that time.”
