into 160-suite Residence Inn in Midtown Atlanta |
BETHESDA, MD � January 9, 2002 - Crestline Hotels & Resorts opened
the 160-suite Residence Inn in midtown Atlanta. Crestline manages
the hotel, located at 1365 Peachtree Street, under a long-term management
agreement.
Songy Partners Limited, an Atlanta-based private commercial real estate firm, developed the property, converting a vacant office building into an upscale extended-stay hotel. During the opening ceremony, Spurge Richardson, from the Atlanta Convention Visitors Bureau, stated, �Songy Partners and Crestline took a blighted property on Peachtree and gutted and skinned the building and turned it into the best looking Residence Inn I�ve seen.� Rick Patton, Songy Partners� Senior Development Officer stated, �The financial returns are much stronger for repositioning compared to ground-up development.� Rick added, �Because of lower than expected interest rates and Crestline�s efficient pre-opening process, we�ve been able to spend additional dollars on upgrading the FF&E package and some other finishings, making this a higher quality Residence Inn." The 160-suite hotel will offer multilevel underground parking and will provide all of the amenities of an upscale Residence Inn including complimentary breakfast and an evening hospitality hour. Other guest amenities include a large club room with breakfast bar, and well-stocked library. The hotel also features suites on the top level with loft-type ceilings and spectacular views of the downtown Atlanta skyline. The Atlanta Midtown Residence Inn will be Crestline Hotels & Resorts� fourth Residence Inn branded hotel and 36th property under management.
