Island Hospitality Management has taken over management of the 170-suite Home2 Suites by Hilton Woodland Hills Los Angeles. The hotel is situated in Warner Center, which includes 10 million square feet of office space, approximately 50,000 employees, almost 8 million square feet of retail space and is home to more than 20,000 residents. The seven-story hotel is also a short drive from Topanga State Park, Universal Studios Hollywood and Malibu.
Hotel amenities include a heated indoor pool, a business center, a 24/7 fitness center, complimentary hot breakfast, free Wi-Fi and event space. Guestrooms contain separate living, sleeping and dining areas.
“We continue to specialize in quality assets in markets with high barriers to new entry with multiple demand generators that are better able to weather market fluctuations,” said Gregg Forde, COO and EVP for Island Hospitality Management. “The Home2 Suites by Hilton Woodland Hills Los Angeles marks our third Home2 and our 30th Hilton-branded property in a state where we’ve operated successfully for many years. Our familiarity with the brand and the area will allow us to ramp up the hotel more expeditiously as we are able to share best practices and economies of scale. This will allow us to better serve the business and leisure guests who seek the additional space and amenities provided by an extended-stay product like the Home2.”
The hotel recently opened “Toasted Barrel,” the second outpost of Island Hospitality’s food-and-beverage concept, which the company describes as an all-American bourbon-forward restaurant. The 1,200-square-foot, 20-seat bourbon bar serves locally sourced beers and wines as well small plate meals.
