Developers break ground on new Hilton dual-brand hotel in Naples

NAPLES, Fla. - EntSun -- Developers broke ground Nov. 10 on a 290-room hotel that will bring Homewood Suites by Hilton and Tru by Hilton under one roof in Naples. Project partners, community leaders and local officials attended the ceremony.

The eight-story hotel will occupy 4.45 acres at 870 Goodlette-Frank Road in The Commons Professional Park. It will feature indoor and outdoor bar areas, a fitness center, meeting space, a resort-style pool, a game room, outdoor gathering spaces and a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Featuring Homewood Suites by Hilton and Tru by Hilton, the Class A hotel development will bring two distinct guest experiences, offering accommodations for both extended-stay guests and business and leisure travelers.

Homewood Suites will offer 170 upscale guest rooms with kitchens and living spaces suited for families, business travelers and guests staying for relocations, medical visits or longer assignments. Tru will offer 120 guest rooms for shorter stays with efficient layouts and accessible price points. The dual-brand concept offers guests shared amenities, Hilton Honors benefits and convenient access to downtown Naples, Gulf Coast beaches and Marco Island.
