Prime Hospitality Corp. , today announced that the Radisson Hotel &
Suites, Fairfield and the Radisson Suites, Secaucus have converted to its
new upscale, full-service hotel brand, PRIME Hotels and Resorts. The two
properties become the second and third hotels in the developing brand.
The hotels join the PRIME Hotel & Conference Center- Saratoga Springs, NY,

located in thriving commercial/suburban northern New Jersey, serving
corporate and meeting customers. Both hotels are also centers for
community and family functions. Prime will continue to own and manage the

“The projected return of the economy and the excellent location of these
hotels makes this the right time to step up into the new brand” says
Attilio Petrocelli, the Chairman and CEO of Prime Hospitality Corp. “Our
strategy to build a full-service hotel brand is blossoming, and it is
supported by the excellent service found in these hotels.” Prime plans to
convert 12 of their Wyndham Hotels—in cities such as San Diego,
Seattle, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Atlanta—to the PRIME Hotels &
Resorts brand this spring, for a total of 15 hotels nationwide.

The Fairfield hotel, near the Willowbrook Mall on U. S. Highway 46,
