Emerald Hospitality Associates, Inc. (EHA) announced today they will be developing the dual branded Home2 Suites & Tru by Hilton, Williamsville Buffalo Airport, New York. The property is currently under construction at 48 Freeman Road, Buildings A&B in Lancaster and scheduled to open in March 2018.

“We are so excited to bring this concept to the Buffalo area and be a part of this Home2 Suites / Tru by Hilton partnership” states Ed Pavente, Chief Operating Officer for Emerald. “It will combine two complementary Hilton brands in the midscale segment. Each Hotel offers travelers their signature amenities while sharing the commitment to customer service and hospitality that Hilton Worldwide and Emerald Hospitality Associates are known for.”

The 165 room, four-story hotel will feature the two brands each with their own front desk check in areas, two breakfast/lobby areas and one pool and fitness center. The two hotels will share common operations areas such as laundry, break room and housekeeping storage providing service and operational synergies.

The hotel will be Emerald Hospitality’s first dual branded hotel and adds to their already growing portfolio of 22 hotels of Hilton, Marriott and Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
