InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) [LON: IHG, NYSE:IHG (ADRs)], the world's largest hotel group by number of rooms announces plans for a new 100-room Candlewood Suites hotel in Manassas, Va. (USA), just south of the Dulles International Airport. The new extended-stay property is expected to break ground this winter and open at the end of 2007.
Guests at the upcoming 54,000 sq.-ft. Candlewood Suites Manassas can take advantage of the hotel’s just-like-home complimentary amenities, including high-speed internet access, free local phone calls, free on-site guest laundry and a 24-hour fitness center. Unique to Candlewood Suites, guests can also enjoy the convenience of the Candlewood Cupboard®, where a variety of beverages, breakfast items, snacks, frozen entrees and sundries can be purchased on the honor system at any time, as well as the Gazebo Grill where guests can enjoy cooking out as they would at home. Additionally, guests of the Candlewood Suites Manassas can visit the free Lending Library, where movies and music are available for use in guestrooms, which all feature a VCR/DVD and CD player.
“Candlewood Suites hotels are carefully designed to meet the particular needs of longer-staying guests,” said Gina LaBarre, vice president, Brand Management, Candlewood Suites. “When business or personal matters require travel for a week or more, guests find that the design of our guest suites and the amenities we provide allow them to live comfortably and keep a daily routine similar to that of home.”
Standard Candlewood Suites guestrooms feature studio or one-bedroom suite floor plans with a full kitchen, large workspace with comfortable desk chair and overhead lighting, overstuffed recliner and VCR/DVD and CD player.
“We look forward to providing an extended-stay experience to our guests in Manassas,” said J. Naran, general manager. “Candlewood Suites’ unique amenities enable our guests to live according to their own schedule and needs, not the hotel’s."
The new five-story property will be located off I-66 just minutes from key area attractions, which include Splashdown Water Park, Historic Old Town Manassas, Manassas National Battlefield and Nissan Pavilion at Stoneridge. Several key businesses are also close by, such as Lockheed Martin, Micron Technology and BAE Systems.
The Candlewood Suites Manassas is owned and managed by Westview 66 Hospitality, Inc., under a license agreement with a company in the InterContinental Hotels Group and is located at 11220 Balls Ford Rd., Manassas, Va., 20109.
The InterContinental Hotels Group portfolio in Virginia is represented by five of its brands, including the upscale, full service, limited service, upscale extended stay and midscale extended stay segments with nearly 100 hotels and more than 13,000 rooms.
