We are especially proud to grow in our hometown of Chicago, while also adding to our portfolio of historic hotels. David Duncan, president and CEO of First Hospitality
First Hospitality has been very effective and shown exceptional performance at our voco Chicago Downtown/Holiday Inn Chicago Downtown, a dual-branded hotel in Chicago. Entrusting them with our Hyatt House/Hyatt Place nearby was a natural step in our expanding relationship.
