Hotels Opening in Some of America’s Leading Winter Holiday Destinations, Including New York City, Austin and Phoenix
November 13, 2017 MCLEAN, Va. – From America’s largest city, to one of Texas’ liveliest destinations, and across the desert Southwest, travelers throughout the U.S. have a variety of new lodging options debuting just in time for the busy holiday travel season, thanks to several new Hilton Garden Inn openings.
In 2016, 150 million Americans traveled over the Thanksgiving and year-end holiday seasons*, and many travel experts predict that number will rise even more this year. Hilton Garden Inn offers these travelers upscale yet affordable accommodations no matter where their holiday travel takes them.
“Our Hilton Garden Inn guests deserve to enjoy each and every moment of their stay, whether that be with a handcrafted cocktail from the bar or warm smile from one of our dedicated Team Members,” said John Greenleaf, global head, Hilton Garden Inn. “Now, more travelers have the opportunity to enjoy the bright and satisfying hospitality experience we take such great pride in offering — throughout the holidays, and every day.”
Part of the Hilton (NYSE: HLT) family of hotels, Hilton Garden Inn announces seven new U.S. properties in October and early November, with three of the hotels debuting in locations named by Travel + Leisure magazine’s Top 25 List of Best Places for Winter Travel:
