McNeill Hotel Company recently held a grand opening event for the TownePlace Suites Memphis Germantown, a new addition to the Thornwood mixed-use development in Germantown, TN.
The Germantown Chamber of Commerce hosted the ribbon-cutting ceremony, which featured comments from developer Spence Ray of McNeill Commercial Real Estate to an audience that included corporate clients, investors, the local community and representatives of the Memphis Convention & Visitors Bureau and the City of Germantown.
The five-story, 111-room hotel features a restaurant and rooftop bar, a fitness center, an indoor pool and 6,000 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail. It is close to Germantown Performing Arts Center, Municipal Park and The Great Hall conference center, as well as Methodist Le Bonheur Germantown Hospital.
The property was developed by Spence Ray and Mark Layne for McNeill Commercial Real Estate, with McNeill Hotel Company as property manager. Andrea Gillespie, principal, AK Design Studio, created the custom look and feel for the property.
McNeill Commercial Real Estate also developed the Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis/Germantown for the MHC portfolio.
“The developer paid special attention to both indoor and outdoor detailing during the hotel’s design and construction, which includes the signature use of brick and limestone on the exterior—a distinctive feature of Thornwood properties,” said Travis Murray, MHC president. “Thornwood epitomizes modern living with old-world style. Modeled after European communities, Thornwood combines classic sensibilities with modern amenities. Its wide, tree-lined sidewalks, convenient parking and nearby establishments such as the Germantown Athletic Club, GPAC and the Germantown Library give Thornwood a sense of history and community. Living, dining, shopping, lodging and the arts are all close to home,”
He added, “We are especially proud to add this outstanding hometown property with excellent demand drivers to our management portfolio, working with brand partner Marriott International.”
