Opening of Four-star Hotel a Leap in Greater College Park Redevelopment

The Hotel at the University of Maryland, the anchor of the Greater College Park initiative, is taking reservations in advance of its July opening. The 10-story luxury hotel, built by developer and UMD supporter David H. Hillman’s Southern Management Corp., will include 297 rooms, 43,000 square feet of meeting space, four restaurants and a Red Door Salon & Spa by Elizabeth Arden. The Hotel will celebrate the state through the naming of its many meeting rooms and ballrooms, the locally sourced menu items at the high-end Old Maryland Grill restaurant and the display of paintings and sculptures by Maryland artists. Construction of the Hotel has sparked rapid revitalization of the Baltimore Avenue corridor and campus; through $2 billion in public and private investments, more than 30 research, academic, residential and retail projects have been completed or are under way.
