Another 10 Uptown Suites properties are expected to open by 2019, in Colorado, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and other states.
Primarily new builds, accommodations will be ‘apartment-like studio suites’ with high-speed wireless Internet connections, high-definition smart televisions and full kitchens amenities.
Properties will be managed by InTown Suites, an extended-stay operator which already has 188 locations in 22 states.
"We are thrilled to launch Uptown Suites as we deepen and expand our commitment to provide an extended-stay experience for our guests," said Jonathan Pertchik, InTown Suites chief executive officer.
"Uptown Suites aims to transform the economy extended-stay experience for our guests."
The brand is being touted as ‘Connected, Convenient and Comfortable’ with expansion targeting regions with strong job and population growth.
