The new hotel is owned and developed by Berry College and is located next to the Rome Tennis Center at Berry College.

In addition to providing hotel rooms for visitors, the hotel will employ students giving them hands-on experience in hospitality management.
The artwork in the hotel’s public spaces provides an opportunity to connect to the story of Berry College through embedded QR codes. Amenities include complimentary breakfast, high-speed WiFi connectivity, a fitness center, seasonal pool and a lobby bar and restaurant.
Hotel Equities provided its development services expertise throughout the hotel’s construction, collaborating with architects, design and contractors from the early stages of the development.
