Encore Hospitality Adds Braintree Hotel to Portfolio

Hampton Inn, Braintree

(Braintree, MA) July 13, 2017 – Encore Hospitality, LLC, a subsidiary of Encore Enterprises, Inc., is pleased to announce it has purchased a Hampton Inn hotel in Braintree, Massachusetts. The 4-story, 103-room hotel currently operates as a Hampton Inn, but will be extensively renovated to achieve Hilton brand standards.

“We are excited to acquire this new hotel for our growing portfolio,” said Chairman of Encore Enterprises, Inc. Dr. Bharat Sangani. “By renovating the hotel, we will strengthen our relationship with the Hilton franchise and increase satisfaction for the hotel’s customers.”

Encore plans to invest around $25,000 per room to completely renovate all aspects of the hotel including guest rooms, meeting rooms, lobby, lounge, exterior of the building, landscaping, and the pool area.

Located in Braintree, MA, the Hampton Inn is positioned off of a major intersection that provides convenient access to Downtown Boston as well as Cape Cod.

“Since this property is only one of two Hilton-branded hotels in the entire tri-city of Braintree, Canton, and Quincy, we are creating a better option for customers by renovating,” said Glenn Pedersen, President of Encore Hospitality. “We look forward to investing in the renovation of the hotel so it can add to the amenities offered by Hilton’s incredibly high distribution of units that makes it such a sought-after brand.”
