"We're happy to welcome the Staybridge Suites London to our rapidly growing family of upscale extended-stay hotels," said Robert Radomski, Vice President, Brand Management, Staybridge Suites. "London is a perfect example of the type of market where we're seeing an increase in the demand for extended-stay lodging. I think long term guests will find the new Staybridge Suites to be perfect for their needs."

While this is the first Staybridge Suites hotel for London, the brand is represented in three other locations throughout Ontario with three additional locations under development.

The new 117 room, all-suite hotel features three well-designed spacious suite options (deluxe studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom/two-bath). All suites include in-room DVD/CD players; functional, well-lit work stations with ergonomic seating, two-line speaker phones with direct-dial number, personal voice mail and complimentary local phone calls, and fully equipped kitchens.

Consistent with the Staybridge Suites brand, the new property offers exceptional guest amenities including a deluxe complimentary daily breakfast buffet featuring Wolfgang Puck coffee, complimentary guest laundry and workout facilities, a complimentary 24-hour business services center, a guest library with books and games for guest use free of charge, and BridgeMart®, the hotel's 24-hour convenience store stocked with snacks, sundries, beverages and easy-to-prepare meals. Guests will get comfortable in the hotel's Great Room for evening "Sundowner" receptions three days a week for complimentary refreshments, light appetizers and conversation.

The hotel will feature the brand's latest "Just Like Home Theater" situated in the hotel's common area. Guests at Staybridge Suites-London can get Internet connectivity throughout the hotel with complimentary "Wireless Anywhere." Four boardrooms are available for small meetings and gatherings. Guests can enjoy the hotel's heated, indoor pool and whirlpool.

Conveniently located near downtown London off the 401, the property is just minutes from area businesses such as Ford Motor Company, Magna, 3M Corporation and General Motors. The hotel is also close to key attractions such as Western Fair Entertainment & Sports Centre, Wally World Water Park, John Labatt Centre, White Oaks Mall and Bellamere Winery.

"The location of this new hotel is ideal because of its close proximity to several businesses," said Karen Hambrock, General Manager. "With 8 major companies close by and many other businesses, we are able to cater to those who plan to stay for longer periods of time while traveling for business, as well as those visiting the area for its appealing tourist attractions."
