US: A 95-key TownePlace Suites by Marriott has opened in downtown Salt Lake City.
The property was developed as part of a collaboration between Woodbury Corporation, which will also manage the hotel, and Salt Lake City’s Kimball Investment Company. Beecher Walker Architects designed the hotel, and Rimrock Construction acted as general contractor.
Guy Woodbury, SVP of hospitality at Woodbury Corporation, said: “The hotel came together once we saw we could make the footprint work. The amenities that we offer are unique to the central business district where we are located.”
“With all the training that goes on in the area and all the different needs that come with someone having to stay in the area for longer than two nights, we’re in a great position to help travellers out,” Woodbury added. “My son was an auditor with Ernst & Young for years. He would travel to help companies set up their systems, and there were never any hotels that supported the amenities he needed while he was on the road. We want to make things feel like home.”
