Hampton Hotels opens 14 properties in March, first UK property

Hampton Hotels, the international brand of nearly 1,700 mid-priced Hampton Inn® and Hampton Inn & Suites® hotels, today announced that it opened 14 properties during March 2009, aggregating 1,224 new rooms.  The new openings include two Hampton Inn hotels and eleven Hampton Inn & Suites properties, as well as one Hampton by Hilton which marks the brand’s first location in England.  All openings are franchised, newly constructed hotels.

“Not only is 2009 shaping up to be a record year for domestic development growth, but we also are making meaningful headway internationally, as our first entry into England with the Hampton by Hilton Corby/Kettering attests,” said Phil Cordell, Global Head, Hilton Focused Service and Hampton Brand Management.  “Guests appreciate our bundled amenities and price sensitivity, while developers like working with a well established hotel franchisor with such strengths as a central reservation system and the Hilton HHonors loyalty program.”
