Peachtree Group's hospitality management group has been selected to operate the Merrill Hotel, Muscatine, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in downtown Muscatine, Iowa. The AAA Four-Diamond property has 122 guestrooms, a full-service restaurant, 13,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, an outdoor terrace overlooking the Mississippi River, a heated indoor saltwater pool and a fitness center.
Built along the banks of the Mississippi River, the hotel opened in March 2018. The Merrill Hotel's prime location provides convenient access to the city's local restaurants and shops and benefits from the proximity to the Quad Cities - Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa and Rock Island and Moline/East Moline in Illinois.
"We're truly delighted to have been chosen by Jim and Rebecca Howe to be the hotel's management operator," Patrick Short, president, Peachtree Group, Hospitality Management, said in a statement. "The Howe family embodies a steadfast dedication to unparalleled hospitality experiences. We will carry on their commitment to excellence by delivering exceptional guest experiences, enhancing and elevating the hotel's reputation while generating results commensurate with this exceptional hotel's status, which continues to serve as one of the city's economic foundations."
Peachtree Group's hospitality management manages 91 hotels across 27 brands with 11,180 rooms in 23 states. The Merrill Hotel increased Peachtree Group's third-party operations to 28 hotels.
