The popularity of the new “3 Palms†brand for upscale independent and condo-hotel properties continues to grow with signed agreements that will add two properties to its portfolio.
The two hotels are a 76-room new construction in Dothan, Alabama, which is expected to open in September of 2009 and a 60-room conversion in Madison, Indiana, which is expected to open in November of 2008.
“Our upscale lodging system is moving ahead in a positive manner as word-of-mouth recommendations are spreading within both the hotel and time-share industries,†said Doug Collins, chairman and CEO of Atlanta-based America’s Best Franchising Incorporated, which also operates two of the country’s leading upper economy hotel brands – America’s Best Inns & Suites and Country Hearth Inns & Suites.
“Our delivered reservations have exceeded expectations – and properties joining 3 Palms especially like the flexibility of using either the 3 Palms name or retaining their current name and adding a tagline that describes the property as a 3 Palms hotel.â€
