Driftwood Hospitality Management to Manage the Clarion Airport
near Asheville, North Carolina

North Palm Beach, FL – October 13, 2011
– Driftwood Hospitality Management, a leader in providing solutions-based services for the domestic and international hotel industry, today announced that the Clarion Airport near Asheville, N.C. is the newest addition to its growing management portfolio. The sixth property to join Driftwood in the last 60 days, this hotel brings the total number of properties managed, owned and/or operated by the company to 30.
 
“As we continue executing our aggressive strategic growth plan over the next 24 months, Driftwood is pleased to add a Choice Hotels property, the Clarion Airport, to our portfolio,” said Michael Diaz, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Driftwood Hospitality Management. “We look forward to helping this hotel get to the next level in providing outstanding quality and service to travelers from across the United States.”
 
As part of the initial takeover process, Driftwood will assess the Clarion Airport’s current condition, operations and internal structure.  An on-property team will then create a plan to solve any existing issues as expeditiously as possible, ensuring a seamless transition and an open line of communication with all key players. 
 
The Clarion Airport is conveniently located less than one mile from the Asheville Regional Airport, and offers complimentary transfers to and from the airport. The property is close to local points of interest including the Biltmore Estate, Pisgah National Forest and the nearby towns of Asheville and Hendersonville.
