Centerstone Breaks Ground on First New Construction Hotel

"The first new construction Centerstone hotel, located at 120 N. High Street, broke ground this month in downtown West Chester, Pa. The 76-room property is being erected on the site of the historic Warner (Bros.) Theatre. McFadden Hotel Group LLC of West Chester, owners of the property, along with architects Bonsal Shafferman of Bethlehem, Pa., and NorthStar Construction of Allentown, Pa., will preserve the architecture of the 1930s building to serve as the hotel facade and main lobby. Scheduled to open in May 2012, the Centerstone Hotel - Warner Theatre will be nestled among 30 restaurants and storefronts spanning three blocks and serves as the only hotel in the downtown district -- listed on the National Register of Historic places.

The Centerstone Inns, Hotels and Plaza Hotels brand was launched in May 2011 by Owner and CEO Steven Belmonte and hoteliers Neal and Cory Jackson to remove any unreasonable terms and mandates on franchisees. At present, the company has executed 8 license agreements and another 15 deals in the pipeline -- none of which involve Key West Inn property conversions also in progress. Later this month, the brand's first all-suite hotel will open in Texas.
...
The Centerstone Hotel - Warner Theatre will include 6,000 square feet of commercial storefront space outside the entrance on the main street. The hotel will feature an indoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, and meeting facility to accommodate approximately 80 people. The 1,500 square feet of function space can double as a catering facility. If a larger venue is needed by guests, the Historical Society, located directly across the street from the hotel, features an auditorium large enough to host groups up to 350 people. Due to the abundance of restaurants in the immediate area, no full-service eatery will be offered onsite, but a Pantry concept and Breakfast Room with buffet will be offered."
