Announcements and Updates of Hospitality Projects
Hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day Weekend as responsibly as possible, forgive us we spent our Monday grilling.
This weeks HPT is here though and we will start with Cambria Napa Valle,. it looks like Choice Hotels is moving this brand along swiftly, with their second opening in “Wine Country”. The Cambria Napa Valley is a very central location for everything quintessential to the area, so Wine…Food…and more Wine. With Choice gaining traction in the upscale Hospitality market, this location makes perfect sense. Stylish and utilizing regionally inspired designs is always a good move, and this property looks to tell the Napa Valley story in good taste.
The stand our property for us though, is the Guild House, sitting within the walls of the New Century Guild. This innovative and influential group of women spearheaded women’s labor rights, now named the New Century Trust, they started in 1882 and is one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations. This Philadelphia property has been repurposed with the emotion of the movement left in tact. Every suite in the property pays homage to specific influential women and those that walked the halls before us, this is a property to visit if in the area.
With many of the suites dedicated to powerful women, it will be difficult to not get lost in the story of your surroundings.
You will find a bit more history in the re-making at the Hotel Kinsley in Kingston, New York. New York could be know for its small quiet down if it didn’t have the biggest bustling one, but the old capital of New York is looking for a turn around. We find the Hotel Kinsley delivers with warm earthy materials and a sophisticated taste befitting its allure.
