100-room Worcester hotel to open
Courtesy
The new Hampton Inn will add 100 rooms to Worcester's roster of accomidations.
The 100-room Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton will officially open Friday, boosting Worcester’s hotel room count while providing another re-use of land in the Gateway Park area of the city.
The new hotel at 65 Prescott St. features an indoor saltwater pool, shuttle service, and 651 square foot meeting room. Each guestroom and suite features efficient work space, mini-refrigerators and a 39-inch LED flat-screen TV. The new hotel was built by developer Colwen Management that is currently constructing a 4-star, 168-room Renaissance by Marriott at CitySquare in downtown Worcester.
These two hotels will help boost Worcester’s overall hotel numbers, which are low for a city of its size and have contributed to difficulties in the DCU Center booking some events. Along with other projects, these hotel room numbers will soon be to the level Worcester had before it lost the downtown Crowne Plaza in 2010.
The new Hampton Inn will officially open Friday at an 8 a.m. ribbon cutting, with a grand opening set for later in the year, according to city officials.
