HARTFORD - SOUTH/GLASTONBURY, CONNECTICUT (Monday, June 19, 2006) - Homewood Suites by HiltonÒ, the national brand of upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotels, has opened the 136-suite Homewood Suites by Hilton Hartford - South/Glastonbury, Connecticut. The hotel is owned by PRA Suites at Glastonbury LLC and managed by Hersha Hospitality Management, L.P.. This property represents another addition to the growing roster of more than 173 Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels nationwide.

"The new hotel's location, within walking distance of fine dining and shopping, makes our city an ideal market for an upscale, extended-stay hotel like Homewood Suites by Hilton," said Lori Breton, general manager.

"Our hotel is specifically 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," Breton said. "We are the ideal place for those travelers who are away from home or the office for several days who prefer to have a full kitchen, executive business center and complimentary high-speed Internet access."

The Homewood Suites by Hilton Hartford - South/Glastonbury is located at 65 Glastonbury Boulevard, Glastonbury, Connecticut, near the Somerset Square Mall and less than an hour from the Pequot Indian Casinos.

This new property 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 for MP3 players and other portable music devices including ipodsâ, an addition Hilton made after research revealed that consumers prefer to maintain their own music lifestyles while on the road. Complimentary high-speed Internet is also available in each guest suite, as well as in the Lodge and meeting rooms.
