Lexington Enters Canada for the First Time
Lexington Inn & Suites opens in Windsor, Ontario
Lexington by Vantage, a collection of inns, hotels and suites in the full- and select-service segments, is proud to announce the opening of its first-ever property in Canada – a Lexington Inn & Suites in Windsor, Ontario.
A part of Vantage Hospitality Group, the 8th largest hotel company in the world, Lexington offers an innovative approach to national brand affiliation that lets hotel owners select the services, resources and revenue-generating programs to meet their specific market needs. This allows each Lexington property to design its services and amenities around the wants of its customers and market niche, and the owners' bottom-line needs.
"We wanted to find a hotel brand with a family approach to doing business, one where you're not just a number. We were also looking for better pricing and structure, plus the freedom to make decisions that work best for our property. Lexington was the answer," said owner Kirti Shah.
"Lexington has been making its mark in the United States, so it was inevitable that the brand would expand into Canada. We are very pleased that it's Kirti and his team in Windsor who are our first Canadian members. They truly know the hospitality industry and what it takes to be successful, and we welcome them with open arms," said Bill Hanley, group president of Lexington by Vantage.
Formerly a Howard Johnson Express, the Lexington Inn & Suites is located at 2130 Division Road in the recently developed South Windsor area. The property is installing new beds this month and will replace bedding and carpets in November in each of the 49 spacious guest rooms and suites, while adding a microwave oven and mini refrigerator to every room.
Leisure and business travelers alike enjoy complimentary continental breakfast, and wireless Internet access in all guest rooms and public areas. The property also features a business center and meeting room that can accommodate small groups.
