Atwell Suites has expanded its U.S. presence with the debut of the Atwell Suites – Kansas City Airport, as well as the November openings of properties in Henderson, NV; and Fort Worth, TX. These additions build upon previously opened properties in Miami, Denver and Austin for IHG Hotels & Resorts’ all-suites, upper-midscale hotel brand.
The new properties include:
- Atwell Suites – Kansas City Airport, owned by Hotel KCI LLC, is now open. This 104-room hotel is close to Kansas City International Airport and historic downtown.
- Atwell Suites – Henderson at the Pass, operating under the ownership of DeSimone Companies, is set to open early November. The 90-room hotel is adjacent to both The Pass Casino and America First Center.
- Atwell Suites Fort Worth – Alliance Area, owned by Sequoia Hospitality, is also set to open in November. This 96-room hotel is near Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport and the city’s central business district. Other nearby attractions include the Fort Worth Stockyards, Kimbell Art Museum, Modern Art Museum and the Historic Fort Worth Theater District.
The latest openings are part of a growing pipeline that will see Atwell Suites open more than 50 properties across the U.S. in the coming years in destinations such as Las Vegas, Colorado Springs and Cheyenne, WY.
“At IHG, we’ve been deeply committed to filling a growing need in the all-suites category and expanding our upper-midscale segment, as it’s one we know well and continue to see strong interest in from both owners and guests,” said Karen Gilbride, VP, Atwell Suites, avid hotels and Garner hotels, IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Atwell Suites’ growth momentum is a testament to that focus. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to introduce more travelers to the Atwell Suites brand, and to showcase our inspiring design and unique position in the market.”
The brand’s signature suites include a functional workspace and a lounge area with a gallery wall above the sofa. Public spaces incorporate huddle areas, a TV lounge with board games and puzzles, coworking zones and a versatile meeting room known as The Study.
Signature amenities include a fitness studio, complimentary breakfast, a 24/7 beverage station, a bar and a 24/7 marketplace.
“The KCI Corridor has seen significant growth recently,” said Gary Mack, owner, Hotel KCI LLC. “With our proximity to Kansas City International Airport and the influx of businesses establishing a presence in the area, we’ve become a prime destination for travelers seeking longer stays. Opening the first Atwell Suites in Kansas City and deepening our partnership with IHG was a clear choice.
