The History of High Hotels, Ltd.
Delivering Award-Winning Service is Our Way of Doing Business.

High Hotels, Ltd. was formed in July of 1988 to develop, acquire, and manage, limited feature hotels in the Mid-Atlantic States.

High Hotels currently operates ten hotels as independent franchises from Hilton Hotels, Corporation and has most recently opened a Courtyard By Marriott in Lancaster, PA. Those hotels are located in Lancaster, Harrisburg West, Reading/Wyomissing, Wilkes-Barre, York, Pennsylvania, Annapolis, Maryland and Middletown, New York.

High Hotels opened its first hotel - a 129 room Hampton Inn - 1989, in Greenfield Corporate Center located in Lancaster, PA. In 1990, this hotel won the first place Winegardner Award presented by then Promus Hotels, Inc., as the top-performing hotel in the system.

In 1991, this hotel also won the first place Winegardner Award presented by then Promus Hotels, Inc., as the top-performing hotel in the system (Lancaster received second place); in 1992 it won third place; and in 1993 it was "Inn of the Year".

In 1992, High Hotels opened its third hotel, a 144 room Hampton Inn located in the Galleria Mall complex in York, PA.

All three of these hotels have been awarded Promus Hotels’ "Circle of Excellence Award" for being in the top ten percent of the Hampton Inn system every year in which each hotel was open.

In 1995, High Hotels opened its fourth hotel and its first all suites product, an 84 suite hotel, the Homewood Suites Hotel - in the Rossmoyne Business Center in Harrisburg-West, PA. In the fall of 1995, this hotel won an award from Promus Hotels, Inc. for having the "Highest Guest Satisfaction Scores" in the history of Homewood Suites Hotels.

The Hampton Inn & Suites - Annapolis, Maryland opened in 1997 as the company’s fifth hotel and first hotel outside of Pennsylvania. The Homewood Suites - Reading/Wyomissing, Pennsylvania and the Hampton Inn - Middletown, New York both opened in 1999 as the company’s sixth and seventh hotels, respectively.

High Hotels development plans are to continue to grow its number of hotels by acquiring sites in defined market areas within Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, and Maryland and constructing limited service hotels under franchises from major hotel chains like Hilton and Marriott. Additionally, High Hotels is looking to acquire existing limited service hotels within the same geographic areas.
