Despite Home2 Suites by Hilton’s proximity to the world’s busiest airport to the south, and the bustling metropolis of Atlanta just to the north, hotel guests are nestled within an oasis of calm and tranquility within a city teeming with activities.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Atlanta Airport North, located in East Point, Georgia, is the paragon of the adage “home away from home” due to travelers’ ability to stay for extended periods of time without losing the luxuries and amenities of home.
Home2 Suites offers solitude, serenity and state-of-the-art sophistication all wrapped into one package of comfort. When you enter this hotel in East Point, Georgia, on the southern tip of Atlanta, you are fortified from the cacophony of big-city life on the outside world.
Guests enjoy free parking and a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport for 20 hours a day. The all-suite hotel offers mobile work desks and free WiFi powered by a full fiber optic network, providing a better experience for video calls and streaming movies.
Neel Shah, president of Hotel Evolution LLC, an award-winning hotel management company that built Home2 Suites says the accommodations give off apartment vibes as “you actually have a full kitchen capability. In each room, as well as the living area separated from a bed area, and we have large 55-inch televisions in every single room.”
Addtionally, there’s the bandwidth, the amenities, the heated indoor pool, the fitness center, the guest laundry, and a convenient market pantry. As a guest of Home2 Suites, you awaken to a rotating breakfast menu throughout the week so that guests, particularly those who are staying for extended periods of time, are not subjected to the “same, stale continental type breakfast.”
Shah also discussed the illumination in each room so that guests can see throughout their suites clearly.
“The rooms are incredibly bright. In fact, we have some of the brightest bathrooms, which is a very common complaint in the hotel world that the bathrooms are not as bright,” said Shah, who has worked in hospitality operations and development for almost 30 years, including as an approved developer for Hilton, Marriott, and InterContinental Hotel franchises. He has also been awarded the “Developer of the Year” for Hilton Hotels Worldwide.
The walls of the rooms are practically soundproof. Therefore, from “a sound transmission control standpoint,” guests will not hear an airplane from Home2 Suites, despite being just several hundred yards away from the property line of the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
One of the crowning achievements of Home2 Suites is the full fiber-optic capabilities the hotels boast.
“We have a full fiber-optic backbone so we don’t have standard Ethernet cables through that property. We have full fiber optic cable capabilities. So the bandwidth of that property is probably some of the fastest bandwidth in the state right now,” Shah attests.
“We have an indoor pool [and] spa area, our fitness center, [and] we have guest laundry facilities. So it does become sort of a self-serving apartment-style living. We also have gas grills and a fire pit out front so that you have that patio feel,” Shah said.
“I think we captured … the essence of the needs of the traveler — especially considering we do it in an apartment-style room as opposed to a standard hotel room, which can get a little bit monotonous after a few days or a few weeks.
