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.

With the first few Hospitality Project Trackers in the books and, unfortunately, Summers end getting closer and closer…we thought it was time for a HPT Special Edition. The HPT: Hot Hotel Summer Edition is a bit more robust than our other releases, featuring 20 notable properties Grand Opening, Re-Opening, or Renovating in the Hotel Pipeline. Well…without further ado we bring to you the Hot Hotel Summer Twenty!

With such a list, we will stick to the high notes, and perhaps the highest note in this bunch is the new Virgin Hotel New Orleans. We really shouldn’t have to say much, just take a look for yourself. Posh has never been so posh and Austin Powers must have a penthouse in this tower. Great design and food are gracing this property.

The Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood pulls a similar vibe to the West Coast and gives a cheeky energy in the sun.

Wrapping up the posh list is the Alsace LA, almost dangerously different in all the right places.

Last but not least, nature vacations in the Catskills are back! Callicoon Hills brings some of the most enduring East Coast summers of memory into a modern world.

It looks like Marriott has been very busy, and they are doing it in style with two new “W” properties in Philadelphia and Nashville leading the way. The luxury brand is a trend setter and the almost $200 Million development of W Nashville sets the bar pretty high.

FireKeepers Casino and Hotel is keeping the fire going with a 206 room expansion and some daredevil displays to get people excited, in FireKeepers fashion. New Orleans sees the addition of a Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, “pure elegance” may be the best way to describe this project. Inspired by Chef Todd English, The English opens in Las Vegas bearing a restaurant by the culinary master called “The Pepper Club”.
