Sonesta International Hotels Corp. has opened two properties in Georgia and in Canada.
The Sonesta Essential Savannah, Ga., is a 41-room, upper-midscale hotel near I-95 and close to the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and Hunter Air Force Base. The property is a conversion of the former Grand Savannah Hotel.
The company also opened Canadas Best Value Inn Kapuskasing in northeastern Ontario. The 40-room hotel, a conversion of the former Park Inn Motel, is about 500 miles north of Toronto. Nearby attractions include Kapuskasing Riverside Park and Spruce Falls Trail.
“Sonesta’s success is illustrated by the continued growth of all brands including Canadas Best Value Inn by Sonesta,” Keith Pierce, Sonesta’s executive vice president and president of franchise and development, said in a statement. “Rising demand for economy accommodations in secondary markets positions Canadas Best Value Inn as an attractive franchise opportunity.”
