Home2 Suites by Hilton is a mid-tier, all-suite extended-stay hotel featuring contemporary accommodations and customizable guest room design. This member of the Hilton Worldwide portfolio of hotels will compete with Marriott TownePlace and InterContinental Hotels Group's Candlewood Suites. The Memphis, TN-based hotel brand offers an affordable price point within the extended-stay segment, targeting both business and leisure travelers. Launched in January 2009, Home2 Suites by Hilton was the first new brand introduced by Hilton Worldwide in 20 years. Home2 Suites hotels are 100% franchised.
Home2 Suites by Hilton broke ground in Fayetteville, NC in December 2009 on its first property, which opened as the brand’s inaugural hotel in February 2011. Home2 Suites opened its 50th hotel in 2015 while international expansion into Mexico and Canada anticipated to continue through the years.
Home2 Suites interiors and exteriors were originally designed by Cincinnati-based design, architecture and brand strategy firm FRCH Design Worldwide. The majority of Home2 Suites hotels will be new constructions and follow a standard layout and design model. Properties are constructed in less than one year and feature 108 suites, 56,658 total square feet of property, 4,200 square feet (390 m2) of community space, 323-square-foot (30.0 m2) studios, 490-square-foot (46 m2) one-bedroom suites, a four-story wood frame construction and a building footprint of under 2 acres (8,100 m2).
Home2 Suites by Hilton has an immediate focus on developing properties in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The brand currently has over 126 hotels open, as of December 2016.
Home2 Suites by Hilton suites provide separate living and bedroom areas featuring the proprietary Home2 Suites "working wall" which incorporates a kitchen and flexible working/media area. Each kitchen is fully accessorized including a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker and place settings for six. The working/media space includes a queen-size sofa/sleeper, flat screen TV, a roll-around ottoman, ambient and task lighting, an alarm clock, and furniture that can be moved to create a customized living space and adjustable storage options.
Additional hotel amenities include a saline-based pool, patios with grills, outdoor seating areas, a 24-hour business center, 100% pet friendly environment, and an integrated guest laundry and exercise space.
Research shows that guests in extended-stay settings often seek community and connection after several days, even if it means they are singularly working among others in a common space. To help address that need, all Home2 Suites properties feature an open lobby area with an approximately 4,200-square-foot (390 m2) community space called the "Oasis." The Oasis is designed to create an environment where guests can socialize, and includes communal and individual work zones, a 52" flat-screen TV and a complimentary "Inspired Table" breakfast service with a variety of customizable options. Other features of the Oasis include the Home2 MKT stocked with grab-and-go items, the Spin2 Cycle combined laundry and fitness area, and a business zone offering computers, wireless printing and complimentary Wi-Fi access.
