The Holiday Inn Express Chesapeake, Virginia, located at the entrance of the Chesapeake Conference Center is now open. LTD Hospitality Group purchased the hotel and invested significant capital to fully renovate and rebrand the hotel to complement the gateway to the City’s hub for meetings and conventions.
“We are thrilled with the finished product of the hotel conversion,Ó said Neel Desai, Managing Principal for LTD Hospitality Group, who also recently purchased the adjacent Delta Hotels by Marriott. “LTD has a long history of investing in Chesapeake and we look forward to the success of this hotel being added to our thriving portfolio.”
The 101-room hotel, located at 721 Conference Center Drive officially opened for business last Thursday, June 15. The latest designs from the Holiday Inn Express brand were used to bring vibrancy and functionality to the transformation of all new collaborative spaces. Guest rooms include options of two queen beds, standard king beds or suites, which offer extra living space and a sleeper sofa. All rooms are equipped with mini-refrigerators, microwaves and Keurig coffee makers. The hotel offers a number of mobility-accessible and hearing-accessible rooms; all rooms are non-smoking.
ÒWe’re excited to be one of the newest hotels in Hampton Roads, just in time for a projected busy tourist season,Ó said General Manager Rachel Rivas. ÒWe want to be a new, great place for people to stay that gives both leisure and business travelers many opportunities to explore and enjoy the area. Our prime location close to restaurants and shopping, is an ideal place to stay with proximity to many corporations and military installations.”
