Homewood Suites by Hilton Providence
Homewood Suites By Hilton “All-suites” Hotel To Open In The Heart Of Downtown Providence.
The six-story, 120-room extended stay hotel is located at the once-vacant lot at the intersection of Exchange Street and Memorial Boulevard. Working together, First Bristol and Paolino Properties were able to purchase property acquired from the Providence Redevelopment Agency. The property, vacant for fifteen years, was necessary to make the project viable. The hotel is expected to be completed in early 2019 and is anticipated to generate more than $900,000 annually in Property and Hotel Sales and Room Tax revenues.

Many of the hotel's design elements, including the building façade, were approved by the Capital Center Commission and designed to complement the historic buildings surrounding Kennedy Plaza and the future transportation hub, all of which are within walking distance of the property.
The hotel will have an on-site parking garage with lifts, so that each space can accommodate two vehicles, maximizing space; a meeting room for up to 100 people; an extensive fitness center; a dining room with complimentary breakfast; and 120 suites, all with fully applianced kitchens.
The building is energy-efficient, featuring high-grade insulation systems, energy-efficient boilers, and through-wall HVAC systems (PTACS) with state-of-the-art energy management controls throughout the building, which includes thermostats in each room that sense when a room is occupied and adjusts the temperature accordingly.
