Homewood Suites By Hilton Opens Hotel In Asheville, North Carolina

Represents Brand's Tenth Hotel in North Carolina and First Hotel in Asheville

MEMPHIS, TENN. (Tuesday, October 18, 2005) - Homewood Suites by Hilton , the national brand of upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotels, has opened the 94-suite Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel in Asheville, N.C. The hotel is owned and managed by South Asheville Hotel Associates, LLC and represents another addition to the growing roster of more than 160 Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels nationwide.

"HWS-Asheville's ideal location, less than one mile from historic downtown, makes our city a great market for an upscale, extended-stay hotel like Homewood Suites," said John G. Winkenwerder, owner.

"Our hotel is designed for guests who stay for five or more nights, but is also perfect for short stays and families who need to feel more at home while they are traveling," Winkenwerder said. "We are the ideal place for those travelers who are away from home or the office for several days but still need to have all of the benefits, such as a full kitchen, executive business center and complimentary high-speed Internet access."

The Homewood Suites by Hilton Asheville's address is 88 Tunnel Road, Asheville, NC just off I-240. The hotel is conveniently located near many local tourist attractions including historic downtown Asheville, the Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Parkway and the major shopping and restaurant area of western North Carolina.

The six-story Homewood Suites by Hilton Asheville - Tunnel Road features residential-style studio, one- bedroom and two-bedroom suites with fully equipped kitchens and spacious sleeping and living areas that are large enough for work, study, entertaining or relaxing. In an effort to help guests be more productive, the Hilton Family of Hotels custom designed its own clock, featuring one of the easiest-to-set alarms. What's more, the new clocks also feature a connection cable for MP3 players and other portable music devices including ipods , an addition Hilton made after research revealed that consumers prefer to maintain their own music lifestyles while on the road.

Launched in 1989, the Homewood Suites by Hilton brand today has more than 160 hotels open with another 95 in the pipeline. Beyond its spacious suites and home-like amenities, Homewood Suites guests can find at each hotel an on-site Suite Shop convenience store, exercise facility and guest laundry at most locations. Guests can also enjoy a daily complimentary Suite Start™ hot breakfast and a Welcome Home reception featuring a complimentary light meal and beverages Monday-Thursday evenings. † Additional guest services at Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels include a complimentary grocery shopping service* and a complete business center at most locations.
