ATLANTA – InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, today announced the opening of the Holiday Inn® Hotel & Suites Scottsdale North-Airpark hotel. Located just 15 minutes from Old Town Scottsdale, this 75,000 square-foot hotel, formerly a Wingate by Wyndham, is the newest addition to IHG’s hotels in Arizona. In an effort to create a more contemporary space desirable to today’s travelers, the hotel ownership financed a full renovation of all guestrooms and public areas.
“We are thrilled to welcome this property to the Holiday Inn Portfolio of Brands,” said Heather Balsley, senior vice president, Americas Core Brands & Brand Operations, IHG. “The Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Scottsdale North-Airpark hotel is one of more than 1,200 properties worldwide representing the new face of a brand that is redefining guest comfort and convenience, and Scottsdale is a market where we believe this new Holiday Inn hotel will thrive.”
The hotel, located at 14255 N 87th Street, has 117 rooms, including 37 suites. Situated in an area that appeals to both business and leisure travelers, guests can enjoy attractions such as Desert Botanical Garden, WestWorld of Scottsdale and Butterfly Wonderland. Businesses located nearby include GoDaddy and JDA Software.
“We are excited to grow the Holiday Inn brand in the Phoenix area”, said Paul Hills, general manager, Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Scottsdale North-Airpark hotel. “Scottsdale is an important part of the regional economy that will benefit from a well-known brand like Holiday Inn. We are confident that we will become a choice hotel for travelers in the area.”
The hotel’s restaurant – Raintree Cafe – serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and also offers the Holiday Inn Best-4-Breakfastâ menu, with signature items such as Rainforest Alliance™ Certified coffee, Cinnamon Supreme French Toast™ and Skillet Inspirations™.
