Park Inn Announces First Hotel Completion Of Brand's New Design Concept

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. | Thursday, December 15, 2005

Park Inn, part of Minneapolis-based Carlson Hotels Worldwide, unveiled its bold new design concept with the completion of the brand's first renovation at the 126-room Park Inn (formerly a Holiday Inn) in Brunswick, Ga. The $2 million renovation features a contemporary design with a bold use of color throughout the guest rooms and public areas. This innovative design concept was developed as a platform for Park Inn to emerge as Carlson's newest growth brand. The new design features the dramatic use of color, textures and patterns in an open floor plan creating an inviting and playful environment. The upbeat atmosphere is carried into the guest rooms with signature Park Inn touch points such as an upscale bed and shower. Bed: The signature bed includes an enhanced pillow top inlay pad over a mattress that is of a quality and comfort above the competitive set for Park Inn. The bedding includes sheets which are a 250-thread count standard and a 'touch of down' duvet. Shower/Bath: The bathroom is bright and inviting with light-colored accents and artwork. The towels are thicker and higher in quality than guest expectations in this category. The unique hookless vinyl shower curtain mounted on a crescent-shaped shower curtain rod has a modern design and the distinctive showerhead offers guests a refreshing shower experience. Both are innovative for hotels in this segment. "We are very pleased with the completed renovation at our hotel in Brunswick. The new design offers guests a refreshing and contemporary look and feel in an affordable and comfortable lodging brand. The concept allows each Park Inn hotel to adapt to its location by bringing in a hint of the local influence," said Nancy Johnson, brand leader for Park Inn and executive vice president of select service hotels for Carlson Hotels Worldwide. "Our customers told us that they wanted the new Park Inn to provide a fresh feel with an unencumbered stay at a reasonable cost and the Park Inn Brunswick delivers on that desire," she said.
