Brand Expands North American Footprint and Reaches 38th Property Milestone with Opening of West Edmonton, Alberta Hotel

July 31, 2014 // Franchising.com // EDMONTON, Alberta, and MCLEAN, Va. – Home2 Suites by Hilton, Hilton Worldwide's award-winning mid-tier, all-suite hotel brand designed for modern business travelers and extended stay guests, announced the opening of its 37th hotel, Home2 Suites by Hilton West Edmonton. This is the brand's second international property and first in Canada. The hotel also showcases Hilton Worldwide's continued commitment to expanding its footprint in the market with the company recently opening its 100th Canadian property.

"Opening our first property in Canada and continuing to expand our footprint in North America is a testament to the desirability of the Home2 Suites model from both the owner and guest perspective," said Bill Duncan, global head, Home2 Suites by Hilton and Homewood Suites by Hilton. "The brand continues to gain momentum, opening its 37th property in only three short years and introducing a growing number of business and leisure travelers to Home2 Suites' unique take on extended stay."

The property was constructed utilizing pre-fabricated structural steel studs for the building's framework instead of the traditional wood frame structure, slimming the building timeline to less than 11 months. The innovative construction model also falls in line with Home2 Suites' commitment to sustainability, as the steel pieces are 100 percent recyclable.

"Home2 Suites' sustainable model was one of most attractive aspects of the brand for us, as we wanted to bring travelers a new kind of hotel that combined both environmentally-friendly and budget-friendly accommodations and amenities," said Steve Giblin, President & Chief Executive Officer, SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts. "We are excited to introduce the Home2 Suites brand to Canada and West Edmonton and welcome the growing number of business and leisure travelers visiting this thriving metropolis as our guests."

The four-story, 127-suite hotel is centrally located with easy access to some of the city's top attractions like West Edmonton Mall, Telus World of Science, Fort Edmonton Park and Edmonton River Valley. The hotel is owned and managed by SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts.
