Hilton Garden Inn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hilton Garden Inn is the name of a chain of hotels operated by Hilton Hotels Corporation. Hilton Garden Inns are upscale, mid-priced hotels that are designed for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel brand is similar to that of the Courtyard by Marriott brand. Guest rooms include a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and have either a king bed or two queen beds, as well as a sitting area with an ottoman. Most locations feature a pool, whirpool, and fitness center. High speed internet access is available throughout the hotel and a 24 hour business center is especially convenient for business travelers.

History

The Hilton Garden Inn brand began in the late 1980's under the name CrestHil by Hilton. Due to a slow real estate phase, only 4 of 25 proposed hotels were built. Of these four original hotels, only two are still part of the chain today. They are located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Valencia, California. The other two hotels, located in Southfield, Michigan and Buffalo Grove, Illinois are now (respectively) a Hilton and a Wyndham Garden. The brand was reintroduced in 1996 as Hilton Garden Inn and has grown from four hotels to over 300 properties in just ten years.
