ARLINGTON, Va. – January 31, 2019 – As a part of the company’s strategy to grow its luxury collection, Interstate Hotels & Resorts announces it has executed a management agreement with New York City-based SCG America (SCGA) – the company leading the development of a new Le Méridien in Orange County, California. A signing ceremony celebrating the agreement took place on Jan. 30th 2019 in Doubletree Pomona, California. Construction on the Le Méridien is anticipated to commence Q3 of 2019 with an end of 2021 opening. This latest management contract follows Interstate’s news of two Westin additions (Alexandria and Portland, Maine) and the historic Hill Top House Hotel re-imagination project in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
“Our goal from day one, upon selecting the global lifestyle Le Meridien brand, was to ensure that we chose the most respected, quality service and product oriented operator that can deliver on our promise,” said Winfred Zhang, president and CEO of SCG America.
“We are honored to be working with SCG America on the Le Méridien, a project that will inject vibrancy into the California hospitality scene,” said Michael J. Deitemeyer, president and CEO of Interstate Hotels & Resorts. “Partnering with incredible brands like Le Méridien and quality developers like SCGA furthers the momentum of where Interstate is headed.”
Le Méridien’s glamorous design with a modern twist will be infused throughout its 400 custom-designed luxury guestrooms and suites, the brand’s innovative signature lobby concept: The Hub, complete with bar and lounge, a signature restaurant and rooftop bar, well-equipped fitness center, swimming pool, on-site spa, and 39,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space ideal for convention business, leisure and group travel.
In addition to the Le Méridien, Interstate Hotels & Resorts is accelerating with a global outlook and a robust mix of projects in the pipeline. Interstates’ depth of experience across all lodging segments and asset classes drives results in each of its managed hotels worldwide. For more information, visit www.InterstateHotels.com.
