Embassy Suites Hotels
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Embassy Suites Hotels is a chain of hotels, which specializes in suite-style rooms that is owned by Hilton Hotels Corporation.
Embassy Suites is an upscale chain of all-suite hotels which are often held in high esteem for their quality, value and service. A hotel test conducted by Consumer Reports gave Embassy Suites the highest rating in satisfaction in the "upscale" category. All guest rooms of this chain feature a separate living area as well as a sleeping area. Like many hotels, guests can choose from a king sized bed or two double beds. The living area often consists a sofa bed with matching chairs and a separate television.
The majority of Embassy Suites hotels have an atrium style layout. The interior of the hotel may have a tropical rain forest setting complete with waterfall, bridges, and a large dining area. One of the key features of Embassy Suites is the Cooked-to-Order Breakfast, which may consist of a breakfast buffet. However, certain hotels allow guests to make personal orders with the breakfast chefs. The breakfasts are complete with various hot foods such as bacon, eggs, and omelettes. In the evening, a complimentary Manager's Reception with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and appetizers are provided for all guests.
Embassy Suites' 184 hotels are mainly located in the United States. The Embassy Suites Niagara Falls, Ontario is the tallest and largest Embassy Suites, being 42 stories tall, but it does not have an atrium layout.
