New hotel in Guelph, Ontario to open as a Delta |
|
Delta Hotels and Fifty Stone Road West (Guelph) Limited Partnership announced a long-term agreement that will see Canada's leading hotel management company brand and manage Delta Guelph Hotel and Conference Centre beginning early December. |
Located in the 12-hectare University of Guelph Research Park, Delta Guelph is positioned to be the premier full-service hotel in this rapidly expanding southern Ontario market.
'Delta Guelph will complement our strong network of hotels in southern Ontario, a region of the province that is deemed to have significant economic development potential,' says Hank Stackhouse, president of Delta Hotels.
'Who better to manage this full-service hotel than Delta Hotels, with its solid experience, strong sales network and proven track record,' says Bob Cameron, general partner. 'By operating only in Canada, Delta possesses an unrivalled knowledge of the Canadian market.'
Of the hotel's 148 contemporary guest rooms, all with nine-foot ceilings, expansive picture windows and all smoke-free, 18 are luxury suites, and 80 offer complete kitchenettes. Amenities in all rooms include the brand's signature Delta Sanctuary bed, flat-panel high-definition LCD televisions and high-speed Internet access. The luxury executive or junior suite footprint, in either a 400- or 500-square-foot size, offers a 'king' bedroom as well as a spacious living area. A select number are furnished with a fireplace, glass shower and Jacuzzi tub and offer striking views of either the university grounds or the city skyline. As well, of the 80 deluxe rooms with kitchenettes, some access private walkout terraces.
Other hotel features include two innovative environmental design features, a rainwater collection pipe system and a green, or 'living,' roof, more than 14,000 square feet of wireless meeting space (the city's largest offering), a full-service business centre, a cardio room and a 120-seat all-day restaurant with lounge, as well as a seasonal outdoor patio.
The eight meeting rooms, located primarily within a dedicated conference wing, include the hotel's largest, a 6,000-square-foot ballroom, and three executive boardrooms that access private outdoor terraces. All have been built without obstructions and offer natural lighting.
'Our hotel was built to meet the needs of not only the business traveller but also local companies looking for larger meeting and banquet venues. This hotel will be undoubtedly an attractive option for these companies, which have booked their groups into other cities,' says Cameron. 'Delta understands today's traveller better than anyone, and knows the business of conferences and catering inside out.'
