LBA Hospitality and 3H Group open two hotels in Chattanooga, Tenn.: Candlewood Suites Chattanooga East and Holiday Inn Express Chattanooga East. LBA associates Nathan Smith and Renee Mote have been promoted to dual general manager and area director of sales, respectively.

"We are incredibly excited to welcome guests to these two extraordinary hotels in East Chattanooga," Smith said in a statement. "Our mission is to provide an excellent hospitality experience that reflects the unique charm and dynamic spirit of Chattanooga."

"By focusing on Chattanooga's thriving market, we're not just growing our presence; we're building on our established track record of success," LBA Hospitality President Beau Benton said. "Our intimate knowledge of the Chattanooga landscape, shaped by hands-on management of several other local Chattanooga hotels, empowers us to not only promise and deliver an exceptional stay experience for our guests, but also to forge substantial growth and profitability for our owners."

With the new hotel openings, LBA Hospitality and 3H Group not only mark a significant expansion but also illustrate a commitment to delivering exceptional hospitality that meets the evolving travel needs of the Chattanooga market.
