Hilton Garden Inn wins Business Travel Award for second consecutive year

Hilton Garden Inn, the upscale mid-priced brand that features services and attributes which allow guests to work smart, eat well, stay fit and enjoy deep sleep on their travels, has been named the “Best Mid-Price Hotel Value” by Entrepreneur magazine’s 2007 Business Travel Awards. Hilton Garden Inn has been recognized with the award in 2003, 2006 and 2007.

Hilton Garden Inn was selected as the “Best Mid-Price Hotel Value” because of its ability to consistently meet the needs of business travelers, such as offering a 24-hour business center complete with complimentary access to office equipment and standard office supplies.

The 2007 Business Travel Awards highlights suppliers who offer affordable options to value-driven travelers to enhance their travel experience. As the leading magazine for the small and mid-size business community, Entrepreneur continues to be the definitive guide to the diverse challenges and opportunities of business ownership.

“Being recognized for the third time as the recipient of Entrepreneur magazine’s 2007 Business Travel Award for ‘Best Mid-Price Hotel Value,’ is a testament to our brand,” said Adrian Kurre, Senior Vice President – brand management for Hilton Garden Inn. “Hilton Garden Inn consistently differentiates itself in the mid-price category by offering core amenities and features essential to travelers from our 24-hour business center to our Garden Sleep System bed. This award is especially important to us given how many brands have recently entered the mid-price segment. We feel confident that our brand truly delivers a quality experience for our guests.”

Hilton Garden Inn hotels provide business travelers everything they need most to be productive while on the road, including complimentary high-speed internet access, remote printing to the hotel’s complimentary 24-hour business center and a clutter-free, oversized work-desk. Guests can also experience the latest in guestroom attributes, including the Garden Sleep System bed, Herman Miller Mirra chair, flat screen high definition television and a clock that allows travelers to play their MP3 or portable CD player. These brand characteristics, in addition to the consistency of guest services and hotel amenities at reasonable prices, have allowed Hilton Garden Inn to stand out among its competitors.
