Cooper Hotels Expands Southwest Florida Footprint With Two Bonita Springs Hotel Acquisitions
Cooper Hotels, a leading hospitality development and management company based in Memphis, Tennessee, announced the acquisition of Homewood Suites by Hilton Bonita Springs Naples North and Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Bonita Springs Naples North. The new additions mark the company's third and fourth hotel in the Naples area, joining the Hilton Naples and Hampton Inn by Hilton Naples Central, and the eighth Hilton branded hotels in Southwest Florida. Financial terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
Cooper Hotels has now added three Bonita Springs/Naples area hotels to its portfolio since late October, when it purchased the Hampton Inn Naples Central. The acquisitions reflect Cooper Hotels' confidence in the region's long-term economic growth and population expansion along with strong visitor demand.
"We are excited to add these two outstanding hotels to our 100% Hilton-branded portfolio," said Pace Cooper, president and CEO of Cooper Hotels. "Bonita Springs continues to demonstrate strong demand for quality lodging. These acquisitions represent another step in our commitment to disciplined growth."
Located just off U.S. 41 at 8901 Highland Woods Blvd., the recently renovated, four story Homewood Suites by Hilton property has 106 suites. Catering to extended-stay travelers, it features spacious suites with full kitchens and separate living areas, free hot breakfast and evening socials Monday through Thursday evenings, free Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool and meeting rooms.
The three-story Hampton Inn by Hilton hotel is situated just off U.S. 41 at 27900 Crown Lake Blvd. With 92 guest rooms, its location provides convenient access to regional employment centers, retail destinations and Gulf Coast attractions, enabling the property to capture steady weekday corporate demand alongside strong weekend and seasonal leisure traffic. Hotel amenities include free Wi-Fi and breakfast, an outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, business center and meeting rooms.
Local tourism officials and business leaders have cited Bonita Springs as one of Southwest Florida's strongest-performing hospitality markets, benefiting from its proximity to Gulf beaches, Southwest Florida International Airport, and ongoing residential and commercial development.
