Located Near the University of South Carolina, Hilton Garden Inn and Home2 Suites by Hilton Together Welcome Guests Visiting South Carolina’s Capital City

September 19, 2019 // Franchising.com // COLUMBIA, S.C. and MCLEAN, Va. - Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the opening of its newest hotel, the dual-branded Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown and Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbia Downtown, bringing a total of 223 new rooms and suites to the Columbia area. The dual-brand hotel complements the strong business and tourism environments in South Carolina’s growing capital city, which now boasts the second-largest population in the state.*

“As Hilton Garden Inn and Home2 Suites by Hilton continue their strong expansion, we are excited to provide all of their amenities and offerings under one roof in South Carolina’s capital,” said Bill Duncan, global head, All Suites and Focused Service categories, Hilton. “Adding a new dual-brand hotel in Columbia gives business and leisure travelers the variety of price points and value-added amenities they search for when visiting the heart of the Palmetto State.”

Hilton Garden Inn Columbia Downtown and Home2 Suites by Hilton Columbia Downtown is owned and operated by CN Hotels, Inc.

Guests have convenient access to the University of South Carolina, Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, Williams-Brice Stadium, Colonial Life Arena and EdVenture Children’s Museum.

Each guest room boasts the brand’s signature bedding, featuring fresh, white duvets and crisp linens; a spacious and clutter-free work desk with an ergonomic desk chair; and an in-room “hospitality center” with a mini fridge, microwave oven and Keurig® coffee maker. The hotel offers other amenities and services, including complimentary WiFi throughout the property, 24-hour business center with Print Spots™ remote printing and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
