The developers of Pabst Farms in Oconomowoc announced today that a new full-service Hilton Garden Inn hotel will be constructed at the largest master-planned community in southeastern Wisconsin.
Pabst Farms Development Inc. will develop the hotel, which will be managed by S&L Hospitality, a hospitality development, management and investment company based in Fitchburg.
Scheduled to open in the spring of 2007, the three-story Hilton Garden Inn will feature 100 guestrooms with many amenities for business and recreational travelers.
"This upscale facility will provide a very comfortable experience for travelers visiting businesses, friends and families in Pabst Farms, the city of Oconomowoc and surrounding areas," said Peter Bell, president of Pabst Farms Development Inc. "We are pleased that S&L Hospitality, a very respected hotel development and management company, will manage this very special project."
"Pabst Farms is an ideal market location for this brand of hotel," said Eric Lund, chief operating officer of S&L Hospitality. "We believe it will be extremely successful, given this prime location in a premier master-planned community with easy access off I-94 coupled with the hotel's outstanding amenities."
The new Hilton Garden Inn will be located along the Interstate 94 corridor on approximately three acres in the new mixed-use area at Pabst Farms known as Village Square. The hotel will join the recently opened M&I Bank in Village Square as co-anchors for what will eventually be 35 acres devoted to retail and office space.
The new hotel will be within walking distance of convenience and service retail stores currently open at the Market Place at Pabst Farms, as well as the stores and restaurants to be developed at Pabst Farms Town Centre, a 1-million-square-foot regional shopping and entertainment center in the planning stages.
"Adding a first-class, quality hotel to an expanding mix of residential and commercial components, along with an on-site elementary school and YMCA, is turning Pabst Farms into a vibrant community with all the conveniences of an urban area," Bell said.
