ATLANTA, December 10, 2012 - Hilton Worldwide today announced the opening of its newest hotel, the dual branded Hilton Garden Inn® and Homewood Suites by HiltonTM in Midtown Atlanta.

Located at 97 10th Street, the 12 story hotel boasts 136 Hilton Garden Inn rooms and suites, and 92 Homewood studio and one bedroom suites. The hotel is owned and managed by North Point Hospitality Group, Inc.

"We are excited to once again partner with Hilton Worldwide on the first dual branded hotel in Georgia," said S. Jay Patel, President and CEO of North Point Hospitality Group, Inc. "We look forward to being part of the dynamic Atlanta Midtown market with the opening of these two industry leading brands."

Situated within a two-mile radius of a number of multi-national businesses such as Coca Cola and Turner Broadcasting, the dual branded hotel will provide the amenities to ensure guests have everything they need whether traveling for business or pleasure.

The hotel splits its lobby between the brands offering two separate check-in desks and lodging/dining areas - each catering to the needs of their respective customers. Communal areas include meeting rooms, business center, pool, and fitness center.

Hilton Garden Inn is there to support each guest on his or her road to success, and it starts the moment the guest walks through the doors. Guests can start their day with a full cooked-to-order breakfast from the Garden Grille and Bar® and end it with one of Hilton Garden Inn's signature Garden Sleep System® beds. Other amenities include a state-of-the-art business center, 24/7 business center, and free WiFi in all rooms. Hilton Garden Inn has everything you need to be successful at more than 550 locations worldwide.

Homewood Suites by Hilton provides travelers amenities and services that maximize their travel budget, including complimentary internet, daily full-hot breakfast, and evening dinner and drinks Monday-Thursday*. In addition, Homewood Suites' 315+ all-suite hotels boast fully equipped kitchens, separate sleeping and living spaces, a complimentary grocery shopping service** and recreational options such as a fitness center, pool, and sports courts - all amenities that enable travelers to be at home and make life on the road more about life and less about the road.

The dual branded hotel features five meeting rooms offering more than 3,500 square feet of flexible space and an on-site guest laundry facility.
