MCLEAN, Va., Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Inc. will manage the 240-room Hilton Garden Inn under development near the Dallas Market Center in Texas. The conversion of an existing hotel to the Hilton Garden Inn brand will take eight months and is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2004. The hotel is located off North Stemmons Freeway across from the Dallas Market Center and adjacent to the Wyndham Anatole Hotel.
Crestline Hotels & Resorts` portfolio of managed hotels includes many high quality urban properties under brands such as Hilton Garden Inn and Courtyard by Marriott. Dave Durbin, President & CEO of Crestline Hotels & Resorts said, “We`re very excited to be involved with another hotel repositioning project. Our ability to assess a market, then re-brand and reposition a hotel can create significant value for the owners. Oftentimes, in this economic environment, a repositioning is essential for the hotel`s financial success.” Durbin added, “This is our third Hilton Garden Inn currently under construction. In addition to our portfolio of Hilton Garden Inns we are now working on the repositioning of a Homewood Suites.”
