International hotel manager adds airport hotel to portfolio

Aimbridge Hospitality EMEA has named the latest addition to its portfolio, with the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn at Birmingham Airport.

The 178-guestroom property is located on Concorde Road at the airport site and features a fitness centre, business centre, and an on-site restaurant and bar. Some rooms at the property overlook the runway at Birmingham International Airport.

The property marks the seventh airport hotel within Aimbridge EMEA’s UK portfolio.

David Anderson, divisional president at Aimbridge EMEA said: “We are excited to welcome the Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Airport to our UK portfolio.

“The signing marks another milestone in our strategic growth plan and we are excited to bring our operational expertise to this property, which includes a wealth of experience managing airport hotels across the UK.

“As ever, our focus will be on delivering exceptional guest experiences and driving strong performance for the hotel.”

The signing follows the addition of the 120-guestroom Hampton by Hilton St Helen’s to the Aimbridge portfolio, as well as the recent opening of the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ghent – a 126-guestroom property on the outskirts of the Belgian city.
