Embassy Suites
Award-Winning Hotel Transformation Increases Margin by 188%
When considering investing in the Embassy Suites Detroit – Troy/Auburn Hills, HVMG turnaround specialists saw the value in the convenient location combined with a respected and trusted brand. This hotel in Michigan provides easy access to many of the corporations and attractions that have helped put Detroit on the map.
A multi-million dollar, top-to-bottom transformation gives this hotel an atmosphere that perfectly fits the groove of the Motor City. A highlight of the renovation is the all-new innovative design model for Embassy Suites atriums that addresses the needs of today’s travelers for dining, work and leisure activities. A dramatic two-story water feature is a focal point of the atrium and sets the tone for the fresh contemporary space.
