Hilton Hotels has announced a new mid-scale hotel brand that will be launching later this year in the U.S. but will eventually come to Canada as well. The new brand is called Tru by Hilton. The brand already has 102 hotels signed on and 30 more in the works. Find out more here.
Tru by Hilton’s innovative features include:
- The Hive, a first floor experience that’s more than a lobby – 2,770
square-feet of open space with unique ways for guests to engage with
others or spend time alone – in one of four distinct zones for lounging,
working, eating or playing. - The Play Zone, filled with table games, a large-screen TV (featuring DIRECTV), and tiered, stadium-inspired seating.
- A centrally located Command Center – a re-envisioned front desk –
featuring a social media wall with real-time content to foster
engagement among guests, and a 24/7 market offering fun snacks and
refreshments, single-serve wine and beer*, healthy light meal options
and sundries for purchase. - A complimentary “Build Your Own” breakfast consisting of a toppings
bar with 30 sweet and savory items allowing guests to customize bagels,
donuts, Greek yogurt and oatmeal to satisfy their taste buds and
cravings. - Smart and efficiently designed guest rooms full of the things that
matter most – all-white comfortable platform beds, 55″ TVs, eight-foot
wide windows, access to power everywhere, and surprisingly spacious
bathrooms. - A fitness center that defines wellness trends, rather than follows
them, with a concept focused on cardio, strength and flexibility. - A technology-forward mentality featuring segment-leading
complimentary Wi-Fi bandwidth allowing guests to download and stream
content on their devices, plentiful power sources, and mobile check-in,
room selection and Digital Key available through the Hilton HHonors mobile app. - A collaboration with DIRECTV, offering guests more than 150 channels, like they have at home.
- Rooms and linens cleaned by P&G Professional’s (NYSE: PG) top hospitality brands, including Tide® ProfessionalTM, Swiffer® ProfessionalTM and Febreze® ProfessionalTM to help enhance the guest experience and drive operational efficiencies.
- A brand personality that’s full of life with a spirited culture
grounded in a thoughtful, reliable and unflappable approach to guest
service.
