US: My Place Hotels has announced the groundbreaking of Utah’s third My Place Hotel, located in the city of St. George.
The city’s community members celebrated the groundbreaking alongside My Place executives, owners, and operators at 1670 South Street where construction has commenced on the four-storey, 63-unit extended stay hotel.
Located at the convergence of three geological regions: the Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau, and the Great Basin, St. George’s newest hotel will serve the area’s visitors with easy access to surrounding state parks in addition to the diverse dining and retail options nearby.
My Place Hotel-St. George, UT is independently operated by Hotel Barons Management, LLC. and owned by Hotel Barons STG, LLC. It is the fourth My Place Hotel developed and owned by Craig Larsen, a Utah native who frequents St. George with his family. Having exclusively owned My Place Hotels, Larsen has opened one hotel per year since opening his first in Rock Springs, Wyoming in March 2015.
“We are thrilled to be a part of this great community,” Larsen said. “Delivering a special kind of hospitality that makes guests feel at home the moment they walk through the door is invaluable. Having family of our own, we have personally experienced the need for a quality night sleep, with home-like amenities and conveniences all at a fair price. We all look forward to providing St. George’s travellers with the level of comfort, quality, and value that My Place has standardised.”
Terry Kline, My Place EVP of franchise development, said: “We are extremely pleased to continue our franchise partnership with Craig and his team at Hotel Barons as construction commences on their fourth My Place Hotel. They’re a fast-moving team with expertise in all facets of hotel development and operation, making them an exciting hospitality group to watch for many years to come.”
My Place Hotels currently has 33 hotels open and operating, with a short-term pipeline of 32 additional hotels and medium term commitments for upwards of 40 more hotels to follow.</p
