MCLEAN, VA—Hilton Worldwide has signed the dual-branded Hampton Inn and Home2 Suites by Hilton Louisville East/Hurstbourne, adding to the 15 Hilton Worldwide properties currently located in the Louisville, KY market.
The 83-room Hampton Inn will be the tenth Hampton hotel property and the 74-room Home2 Suites by Hilton will be the first Home2 Suites brand property in the area, bringing a total of 157 new rooms. The property is scheduled to open in Q1 2017. In addition, Hilton Garden Inn and Embassy Suites hotels are currently in development in downtown Louisville.
According to the company, Hilton Worldwide’s growth in Louisville reflects the competitive benefits and tax incentive programs for all types of businesses that consistently make Kentucky one of the lowest overall cost places of doing business in the eastern United States.
Located at the intersection of Hurstbourne Parkway and Forest Bridge Road, the four-story development is owned and managed by Kana Hotel Group, LLC. Hampton Inn and Home2 Suites Louisville East/Hurstbourne will be situated near University of Louisville.
Hampton Inn and Home2 Suites Louisville East/Hurstbourne joins Hilton Worldwide’s current portfolio of nearly 20 dual-branded hotels. The two hotels will still maintain their own brand identity, but will share amenities and services such as an oversized indoor pool, fitness center, public restrooms, free WiFi, laundry room and employee break room.
Currently in development, the seven-story, 304-suite Embassy Suites Downtown Louisville is located in a historic building, formerly Stewart’s Department Store, on Fourth Street and within walking distance of the Kentucky International Convention Center. A new-build, 162-room Hilton Garden Inn is also being constructed downtown on West Chestnut. Both are anticipated to open in Q1 of next year.
