Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton to Open in Buckhead

From McKibbon Hotel Management:

McKibbon Hospitality, an award-winning hotel developer, owner and manager based in Tampa, Florida, and Gainesville, Georgia, announced its partnership with Coro Realty Advisors to build a new, 186-room, 108,659 square feet Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton along Piedmont Road in the Buckhead area of Atlanta.

"We are thrilled to partner with Coro Realty Advisors to bring a premium hotel brand and more hotel rooms to the Buckhead area,” said David Hughs, president of McKibbon Hospitality’s investments and development division, “The Buckhead neighborhood is incredibly vibrant and we are proud to bring our experienced hospitality team to the community.”

The hotel will be located in the present shopping center named Buckhead Place, which is anchored by LA Fitness, Marshall’s, Pier One, Hyatt Place and 05 Buckhead apartment tower. The Hampton Inn & Suites Atlanta Buckhead Place will front on a private access road that runs to Piedmont Road. “We have collaborated with McKibbon on this project for years and are excited to finally see the project get started,” said Coro Realty Advisors’ president John Lundeen. “We think the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton is the perfect complement to our existing center.” McKibbon Hospitality has named Kellogg & Kimsey, based in Sarasota, Fla., as the general contractor for the project. This will be the ninth hotel project partnership between McKibbon Hospitality and the construction firm. The project is slated to start construction this summer.

McKibbon Hospitality recently opened and operates downtown Atlanta’s first Home2 Suites by Hilton. Home2 Suites by Hilton Atlanta Downtown is an extended-stay, all-suites property within walking distance to many downtown Atlanta attractions. In addition, McKibbon manages Hampton Inn by Hilton Atlanta Perimeter, Hilton Garden Inn Atlanta North/Alpharetta and Hyatt Place Johns Creek in the Atlanta area.
