US: A Home2 Suites by Hilton has opened in Tupelo, Mississippi, the birthplace of Elvis Presley.
The 89-key property is part of a $50 million new mixed-use development by Fusion Hospitality. A second hotel, Tru by Hilton, will open before the end of the year.
Sales director Christy Cook said: “Tupelo has a variety of guests that come to town and we have lots that stay several months or over a year, so we have different pricing options based on the length of stay.”
Behind the hotels, a senior living community is taking shape. Independent living cottages are ready, and construction is underway on a two-storey assisted living facility which will open next year.
Fusion Hospitality also operates five other hotels in Tupelo, one in Fulton and another in New Albany.
