State House Inn™, the second property and first franchised property in The Red Collection™, Red Roof®'s first soft-brand, has opened in Illinois' capital city, Springfield. Located in the heart of downtown Springfield, the property features 125 guest rooms and has undergone a full renovation. The location is unmatched, offering an ideal location for those traveling on government business and tourists visiting historic sites in the area. Guests will be just a short walk away from the Illinois State Capitol, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, the Illinois State Museum, Memorial Medical Center and HSHS St John's Hospital.

Red Roof has entered a new sector with The Red Collection: upper midscale city center hotels in prime locations, near activities travelers love to do, that are unique and reflect the local vibe and culture of the city centers in which they're located.

The hotel décor is styled after the mid-century modern movement, staying true to the authenticity of the era in which the hotel was originally built. Guest rooms feature 23 executive 1 bedroom suites and 2 specialty suites, the Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd, all with added amenities. Travelers can enjoy locally inspired artwork, carpeted floors, white bedding, spacious new furnishings and lounge seating as well as large, flat-screen TVs, work desks, in-room coffee makers, and iron/ironing boards. Bathrooms offer spa-inspired toiletries, hair dryers, detachable two-in-one shower heads with multi-flow capabilities and newly remodeled bath fixtures.

Guests will find a welcoming lobby with a stone fireplace, lounge seating, high-top workspaces, locally inspired artwork and Wi-Fi connectivity. Other common space amenities include a large breakfast room just steps from the lobby with free, hot continental breakfast for guests. The Top Hat Lounge, a bar for light bites and signature drinks greets guests after a long day of business or sightseeing. They can also use a very generous 5500 square feet of flexible meeting space and a fitness center with locker rooms.

The property is owned by Vendian Capital Management LTD. ("Vendian") and managed by Packard Hospitality Management, LLC®.
