CHARLESTON, S.C./ARLINGTON, VA, Jan. 19, 2011—Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the United States’ largest independent hotel management company, today announced that it has opened and is now managing the new 166-room Crowne Plaza Charleston Airport Convention Center (top left photo) in South Carolina.
The hotel has completed a major, $13 million renovation and reflagged to become the first Crowne Plaza-branded hotel in Charleston. The hotel is owned by Barclay Hospitality Services Inc., a subsidiary of Inland American Lodging Group Inc.
“This brings to 12 the number of hotels we now manage for Inland, and we consider this contract a gratifying vote of confidence in our ability to continue generating superior returns for them,” said Thomas F. Hewitt (middle right photo), Interstate’s chairman and chief executive officer. “We look forward to building on our relationship with Inland with additional developments in the future.”
“Interstate helped shepherd the hotel through the transition to a new brand,” said Craig Lambert, senior vice president asset management, Inland.
“The property has re-opened with a strong book of business, and, as the first Crowne Plaza hotel in Charleston, we expect it to rapidly assume a leadership position.”
Located at 4831 Tanger Outlet Blvd. in North Charleston, S.C., the five-story Crowne Plaza Charleston Airport Convention Center is convenient to the Performing Arts Center, Charleston Convention Center and Tanger outlets. The hotel also is a short distance from Charleston’s beautiful beaches, world-class golf, historic homes and plantations.
