Twice as Nice

When Tampa-based Liberty Group first considered the idea of developing a new hotel in its home city, market research indicated that both a new Hampton Inn and a Home2Suites would fit well with visitor demand and travel trends.

So Liberty decided to do both — on the same property in Tampa's Channel District.

Liberty Group CEO Punit Shah says combining the two Hilton Hotels Corp. brands will generate operating efficiencies and provide both choice and an expanded experience for guests.
