Avid hotels continues rapid growth with new US openings
The avid hotels brand is growing with seven new cities, including three hotels in one of the fastest- growing states in the U.S. – Texas. These new hotels offer the type of hospitality guests value most – the essentials that make a difference, and the experiences that feel just right every time.
The 2020 Census revealed Texas had the biggest population jump with nearly 4 million more residents added in the last 10 years. With dozens of companies in the technology and infrastructure segments calling Texas home, avid hotels now has properties in Austin, Fort Worth, and the Corpus Christi area.
In addition to avid hotel Austin-Tech Ridge, avid hotel Corpus Christi Portland (TX), and avid hotel Fort Worth-Fossil Creek, the brand is also growing with avid hotel Columbus Northwest – Hillard, avid hotel Fort Mill – Amusement Park, avid hotel Savannah South-Gateway, and avid hotel Kalamazoo East.
These new hotels have been thoughtfully designed to meet guests’ expectations and feature fresh and modern spaces, “Good All Round” grab-and-go complimentary breakfast and guest rooms made for a great night's rest.
The newest addition to avid hotels family, avid hotel Fort Worth – Fossil Creek, marks the 37th property for the brand and is located 15 miles from Sundance Square Downtown, home to the Bass Performance Hall, the Texas Motor Speedway and the famous Fort Worth Stockyards. Fort Worth is known as the gateway to the West, and the hotel staff is ready to welcome interstate visitors from the neighboring cities of Waco, Austin, Dallas, and Oklahoma City.
Kalpesh Patel, Buffalo Lodging LLC (Texas), owner, avid hotel Fort Worth – Fossil Creek, commented: "We’re so excited to bring the avid hotels brand to the vibrant city of Fort Worth and help guests experience all that this area has to offer. This hotel is suited to both business and leisure travelers and has exceptional details guests will appreciate, including black-out roller shades, a spacious room and free Wi-Fi. We look forward to welcoming our first guests to this new property soon."
All seven new-build properties are designed from the brand’s prototype and feature guest-centric hallmarks such as best-in-class room design, new technology and grab-and-go breakfast. All rooms are designed for sound sleeping, with a high-quality mattresses and linens, choice of firm and soft pillows and a purposeful design that reduces noise. All avid hotels stays are backed by the IHG Clean promise, which guarantees that the room will be 'just right' upon arrival and is cleaned against a 50-point checklist. If the room does not meet the promise upon check-in, the hotel will offer an immediate room change.
Karen Gilbride, VP of avid hotels and Atwell Suites, commented: “With travel on the rise across the country, each brand-new avid hotel offers a clean and safe stay. Guests can be confident that their visit will be ‘just right’. Our focus on the basics done exceptionally well at a fair price means that the guests will have a great experience. We are excited by the momentum of this brand and to be working with great partners like Buffalo Lodging LLC.”
