Hospitality management company Charlestowne Hotels has announced a management takeover of The H Hotel in the US state of Michigan, according to HospitalityNet.

Situated at the centre of Midland, the hotel marks the company’s first property in the state and seventh in the Midwest region.

The property is now a part of the company’s Midwest portfolio, joining the recently opened Hotel Verdant in Racine, Wisconsin and Deer Path Inn in Lake Forest, Illinois.

The company aims to maintain The H Hotel’s service standard as the hotel transitions from a Dolce by Wyndham to an independent property.

Charlestowne Hotels CEO Kyle Hughey said: “Our team has decades of experience managing lifestyle hotels and to work with a property that’s transitioning to being independently run is especially exciting for us.

“The H Hotel is respected for its long-standing commitment to the community and as part of this transition, we’re working directly alongside ownership to elevate the existing character and charm of this iconic Midland property.”

The H Hotel general manager Derek Grimaldi said: “We’re looking forward to collaborating with Charlestowne Hotels on ways to further enhance on-site facilities and guest programming as we seek to create a heightened sense of place for all who walk through our doors.

“Through this new partnership, we’ll introduce more ways for our visitors to savour Midland’s vibrant arts, culture and recreational offerings through thoughtful amenities and tailored experiences.”

Located at 111 W. Main St. within Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region, the property features 139 rooms and Winter Dining Pods that serve as luxurious outdoor dining venues.

Guests can also enjoy dining at the hotel’s three dining spaces, consisting of Café Zinc, One Eighteen, which serves American cuisine and Oxygen Lounge.

The hotel’s more than 25,000ft² of indoor and outdoor meeting space can host wedding receptions as well as social gatherings.

The metaverse may accelerate the travel industry’s recovery, though only compelling use cases will lead to adoption

Large travel and tourism organizations have begun exploring use cases for the metaverse following the devastating impact of the pandemic. Current applications either focus on digital marketing campaigns with real-world rewards for consumers, creating immersive experiences on-site for digitally savvy consumers through AR and VR metaverses, or improving operational efficiency through digital twin technology. However, uptake of the metaverse by smaller operators will remain limited until use cases are affordable and provide a guaranteed return on investment.
