Unique Features
Home2 Suites by Hilton suites provide separate living and bedroom areas featuring the proprietary Home2 Suites "working wall" which incorporates a kitchen and flexible working/media area. Each kitchen is fully accessorized including a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker and place settings for six. The working/media space includes a queen-size sofa/sleeper, flat screen TV, a roll-around ottoman, ambient and task lighting, an alarm clock, and furniture that can be moved to create a customized living space and adjustable storage options.
Additional hotel amenities include a saline-based pool, patios with grills, outdoor seating areas, a 24-hour business center, 100% pet friendly environment, and an integrated guest laundry and exercise space.
The Oasis
Research shows that guests in extended-stay settings often seek community and connection after several days, even if it means they are singularly working among others in a common space. To help address that need, all Home2 Suites properties feature an open lobby area with an approximately 4,200-square-foot (390 m2) community space called the "Oasis." The Oasis is designed to create an environment where guests can socialize, and includes communal and individual work zones, a 52" flat-screen TV and a complimentary "Inspired Table" breakfast service with a variety of customizable options. Other features of the Oasis include the Home2 MKT stocked with grab-and-go items, the Spin2 Cycle combined laundry and fitness area, and a business zone offering computers, wireless printing and complimentary Wi-Fi access.
Sustainability
Sustainability is a key design feature and point of emphasis for Home2 Suites, with the brand incorporating various environmentally conscious operations and amenities into each hotel. Guest suites feature low-flow showers and faucets, compact fluorescent light bulbs, dual-flush toilets, biodegradable food trays, recycled flooring and carpet tiles, Energy Star appliances, bulk bath amenities and other sustainable product selections. In addition, each hotel features a saline-based pool, surfaces made from recycled content, and landscaping that includes indigenous-only plants to minimize water usage and irrigation needs. Home2 Suites hotels will also incorporate Hilton Worldwide's LightStay system, which measures energy use, water consumption, waste and carbon output to help minimize the environmental impact of each property. The Home2 Suites in Lexington Park is the brand's first LEED-certified property.
