WASHINGTON, DC—Locally-based PM Hospitality Strategies, Inc. reports it will operate two of the first of Hilton's new brand Canopy by Hilton hotels in Portland, OR and Rockville MD.

The two hotels are being developed by The Buccini/Pollin Group of Wilmington, DE. The hotel to be built in Rockville, MD will be part of Federated Realty Trust's Pike & Rose mixed-use development in Rockville. The hotel in Portland will be developed in the city's Pearl District.

Hilton Worldwide recently launched the new lifestyle brand with the announcement that 11 hotels were in the development pipeline.

“Our experience with lifestyle brands and familiarity with Hilton make us uniquely qualified to be among the first operators of this newly minted brand,” says Joseph Bojanowski, president of PMHS. “From the first 150-room Embassy Suites prototype to our numerous aloft hotels, PMHS has demonstrated its ability to add meaningful improvements to well respected, specialty hotel brands.”

"Both Portland, Ore., and the outskirts of Washington, D.C., are high-demand destinations for today's travelers who seek out urban neighborhoods. The Canopy brand, with its local orientation and included value pricing, will be a direct hit for those experience-oriented travelers,” Bojanowski says.

PMHS currently manages more than 25 hotel and development projects, comprised of more than 4,000 rooms, throughout the United States. The company has participated in the development and acquisition and renovation of dozens of hotels with a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion.
