Charlestowne Hotels has added two university-affiliated properties to its portfolio: Granville Inn in Granville, OH, and The Inn at Patrick Square in Clemson, SC.
“As university towns continue to offer consistent demand and economic resilience, we’re keen to deepen our presence in these markets and reinforce our specialization in managing distinctive, community-rooted hotels,” says Kyle Hughey, CEO, Charlestowne Hotels. “Both Granville Inn and The Inn at Patrick Square are woven into the cultural fabric of their respective universities, and we look forward to collaborating with ownership to further enrich guest experiences and ensure each property remains a source of local pride while serving these collegiate neighborhoods.”
A local landmark in central Ohio, Granville Inn is a Tudor-style, historic property originally envisioned by coal and railroad magnate John Sutphin Jones. Opened in 1924, the 39-room boutique property celebrated 100 years of serving the Granville community last year. Purchased and renovated by Denison University in 2013, the property features three distinct dining venues.
The Inn at Patrick Square is a 45-room hotel located in Clemson’s Patrick Square, a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with specialty shops, restaurants and a farmers’ market. The inn serves as a hub for Clemson University campus visitors, alumni gatherings and local events. It also features 1,830 sq. ft. of divisible event space, outdoor venues and catering by Rick Erwin’s Clemson.
“The Inn at Patrick Square and Granville Inn exemplify the kind of place-based hospitality we’re passionate about, as these hotels are mirrors that reflect the character of their communities,” Hughey added. “At Charlestowne, our four decades of industry experience have made us experts at navigating the nuances to successfully manage college town hotels. We’re honored to support the next chapter of these university destinations and contribute to their long-term success.”
