The $12 million Grand Junction North Hampton Inn & Suites will be located on a 2.67 acre shovel-ready site at the I-70 and Horizon Drive interchange within close proximity to Walker Field Regional Airport. The four-story hotel will have 75 standard hotel rooms, 39 suites of various configurations, and will also feature a 1,000 square foot conference center facility. The hotel will also incorporated all the latest Hampton amenities, including the Perfect Mix lobby, expanded fitness center and many new room upgrades.
Colorado Springs-based Colarelli Construction has been selected as the general contractor for the project, which was designed by Indianapolis-based Precept Design. The hotel will be managed by NLL Management, LLC, and affiliate of National Lodging & Leisure. Construction is scheduled to commence in early spring 2009 with the hotel slated open in early 2010.
