Dual-Branded Hotel to Rise at Glenpointe in Teaneck

TEANECK, NJ–Hackensack, NJ-based Alfred Sanzari Enterprises says it will develop a 350-room dual-branded hotel at its mixed-use Glenpointe complex in Teaneck, NJ. The hotel will feature the Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood Suites by Hilton brands, Hilton Worldwide's select-service and residential-style hospitality products.

“We are excited to bring this unique new hotel product to Glenpointe,” says David Sanzari, Alfred Sanzari Enterprises' president and CEO. “The Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood Suites by Hilton brands offer business and leisure travelers high-quality services and amenities at a value-conscious price point. We are confident this hotel will be a wonderful asset to the community while strengthening Glenpointe's position in the marketplace for many years to come.”

Merrillville, IN-based White Lodging, a fully-integrated independent hotel ownership, development and management company, will manage the new dual-branded hotel property.

The Hampton Inn & Suites and Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel is planned for construction near the corner of Glenwood Avenue and the off ramp of I-95, directly across from the 350-room Marriott at Glenpointe.

The new hotel property will bring additional lodging options to the region while producing long-term, sustainable benefits for the Township of Teaneck. The project is forecast to create numerous construction-related jobs as well as dozens of permanent hospitality-related positions upon the hotel's completion.

The 13-story hotel will include 190 Hampton Inn & Suites rooms and 160 Homewood Suites by Hilton units. The Hampton Inn & Suites serves value-conscious and quality- driven travelers, while Homewood Suites by Hilton offers guests comfortable, home-like accommodations when traveling for an extended stay. Both brands will share the same entrance, meeting room, function space, fitness center and parking garage. Guests at both brands also will enjoy complimentary breakfast and free WiFi access.

A growing trend within the hospitality industry, the dual-branded hotel concept – which typically pairs a short-stay hotel with an extended-stay counterpart – is becoming increasingly popular in major metropolitan markets throughout the United States. Among the most appealing aspects of the “two brand, one-building” approach is the ability to maximize resources while minimizing costs for owners and developers.

“Not only will the hotel bring more than 6,000 guests per month to the area who are spending their money in local shops and restaurants, but the hotel will provide jobs for about 85 people,” says Michelle Steffens, senior vice-president at White Lodging. “We are looking forward to welcoming these guests to the Garden State, and providing them an exemplary level of service.”
