SAN JOSE, CA—Alliance Hospitality will manage the Holiday Inn here located near the Mineta San Jose International Airport.
The property was recently acquired by Aju Hotels and Resorts, a subsidiary of Korean company Aju Corp. The hotel is the second United States property both owned by Aju Hotels and managed by Alliance Hospitality.
“We’re enthused to work with Alliance Hospitality again because of this very successful working relationship that we have built over the past year,” stated Jinhee Michell Lee, president of Aju Hotels. “Their assistance in the acquisition process was incredibly integral for Aju’s initial investments in the United States. We look forward to growing together with Alliance.”
The property features 354 guestrooms, a full-service restaurant, lobby bar, outdoor heated pool and more than 12,000 sq. ft. of meeting and banquet space. It is near a variety of restaurants and shopping options and a short distance from downtown.
“The thriving Silicon Valley area is an ideal location for our first full-service hotel in California and this Holiday Inn has many competitive advantages,” noted Rolf Tweeten, chairman of the board for Alliance Hospitality. “We plan to leverage its strengths to insure it is a market leader in the greater San Jose region.”
