Newport Expands Portfolio with Management Acquisition of Two Altoona, Pennsylvania Hotels
Wingate by Wyndham Altoona Downtown/Medical Center and Microtel by Wyndham Altoona Now Under Newport Hospitality Group (NHG) Management
Newport is proud to announce the acquisition of management responsibilities for the Wingate by Wyndham Altoona Downtown/Medical Center and Microtel by Wyndham Altoona, effective October 1, 2024. This strategic addition to Newport’s portfolio reflects the company’s commitment to delivering unparalleled hospitality experiences and investing in properties that offer value to both business and leisure travelers.
Located in Altoona, Pennsylvania, the Wingate and Microtel offer convenient access to the city’s downtown, medical centers, shopping, and renowned attractions like the Railroaders Memorial Museum and Lakemont Park. The vibrant community atmosphere and easy connectivity make these hotels ideal for a range of guest segments.
The Wingate by Wyndham Altoona embraces the brand’s spirit of enabling guests to follow their passions in work, life, and all the moments in between, with 82 spacious and thoughtfully designed rooms—including Kings, Queens, King One Bedroom Suites, and Queen One Bedroom Suites—the hotel caters to diverse guest needs. The Wingate also features versatile meeting spaces, perfect for business events and gatherings. A standout feature is the full-service bar, Tōst at Market Square, which is being revitalized to create a hip and welcoming space where guests and locals can unwind, making Tōst a part of the Altoona social scene.
The Microtel by Wyndham Altoona exemplifies the brand’s commitment to modern, smart design, and genuine, streamlined service. With 72 rooms, including Single Queens, Double Queens, and One Queen Studios, the property is designed for comfort and efficiency. Its brilliantly efficient spaces and relaxed atmosphere are ideal for today’s travelers, whether visiting for business or leisure. Like the Wingate, the Microtel also provides meeting space for small groups, offering added value for guests with event needs.
Adding these two properties to our portfolio further supports our mission to deliver exceptional hospitality in key markets. The Altoona market is an exciting area with growth potential, and we look forward to enhancing the guest experience and creating new opportunities within the community.
