Several third-party management companies and soft brands have added to their portfolios in recent days across the country.
Remington Hotels
Remington Hotels has assumed management of the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott in East Elmhurst, N.Y. The 443-room property recently underwent a $30 million transformation led by New York City-based hospitality design firm Sawyer & Company that was inspired by the cultural surroundings of New York’s Queens neighborhood.
"We couldn't be more proud to partner with ASAP Holdings on the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott,” said Remington Hotels President and CEO Sloan Dean. “It’s a tremendous hotel with a great partner, and we’re excited to welcome all the new associates that have joined the Remington family."
“We’re thrilled to take ownership of the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott,” said ASAP Holdings Chief Investment Officer Jerome Yuan. “We believe in this hotel and its continued position as a market leader in the LaGuardia area. We’re looking forward to a quick rebound with the brand new $8 billion airport renovation, vaccine roll-out and forthcoming mixed-use housing and community center development.”
Magnuson
Magnuson Hotels has added four hotels to the Magnuson Independent collection. The new properties are the American Inn in Lee, Mass.; the Black Mountain Lodge in North Creek, N.Y.; the Country Inn in Banning Calif.; and the Royal Inn in Rockville, Ind.
“We anticipate a significant wave of new independent hotel affiliations in 2021 as hoteliers ready for increased occupancies from leisure and the non-leisure market segments of construction, medical, government, public safety, security,” said company CEO Thomas Magnuson. “As lockdowns ease, domestic leisure travel will be driven by the double effect of pent up demand and increased savings rate, with an estimated 70 percent of US and Canadian travelers stating plans to take a vacation in 2021.”
WorldHotels
The Grand Tuscany Hotel in Houston has joined the WorldHotels portfolio as part of the WorldHotels Distinctive Collection. The Grand Tuscany Hotel has 280 guestrooms, four onsite dining options, 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space and the Island Oasis which includes a 350-foot lazy river, a resort-style pool and private poolside cabanas with 50-inch LED TVs and seating for 10.
The hotel is five minutes from the Houston Galleria-Uptown and 10 minutes from downtown Houston and Memorial City Centre.
