US: Scholar Hotel Group has opened a property in State College, Pennsylvania, a block from the Pennsylvania State University.
Scholar Hotel State College features 72 extended-stay guest rooms, 1,250 square feet of meeting space, a fitness centre and a lobby marketplace. It is a member of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection soft brand.
Scholar Hotel State College is located at 205 East Beaver Avenue in the historic Glennland Building. The Glennland Building, built in 1933, is on the National Register of Historic Places and, when originally constructed, contained the first and only indoor pool in Central Pennsylvania.
Scholar Hotel Group acquired the building in 2019 and, after extensive renovations, the newly purposed property has been designed for both overnight guests and those with extended-stay hotel needs. Each guest room contains a work area, a kitchen with refrigerator, dishwasher, cooktop or oven, microwave and spacious cabinets.
