Hilton hotel coming to Ajax
Mayor Steve Parish has announced that Vrancor Development Corporation will be building a Hilton Garden Inn® in Ajax.
"The Town of Ajax is proud to welcome Hilton Garden Inn to the community," said Parish. "Businesses and visitors alike have long recognized the need for a full-service hotel in the eastern GTA and we are very pleased that this development will soon be a reality."
The hotel is expected to open in the Spring of 2006 and will be a full-service, six-storey hotel with 134 rooms, including 19 deluxe suites. The development will be located on the north-east corner of the new Highway 401 - Salem Road interchange and will happen in three phases:
- Phase 1 - 134 room Hilton Garden Inn
- Phase 2 - 19,000 square foot convention centre
- Phase 3 - 80 suites for extended stay ( Hilton Homewood Suites)
"The reason we chose the Hilton Garden Inn brand is because of their high level of standards specifically catering to the discerning and corporate traveler," said Darko Vranich, President and CEO of Vrancor Development Corporation. "The Hilton Garden Inn name stands for value and quality in the minds of International Travelers and Ajax is a great site for the award-winning brand." Mr. Vranich went on to add that the Hilton Garden Inn brand has received the distinguished "Highest Guest Satisfaction Among Mid-Price Hotel Chains with Full Service" award in the J.D. Power and Associates North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Study three years in a row.
The hotel will feature: 3,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, a full-service restaurant, an indoor pool and fitness centre, a 24-hour business centre and a variety of suites, including handicap accessible suites.
The Town of Ajax currently owns the lands where the hotel will be built, but will be selling the lands to Vrancor Developments.
Vrancor Development Corporation and Vrancor Hospitality Management is a multi-brand development and management company based in Burlington, Ontario and has two hotels open and 10 currently under construction or in the development phase throughout Southern Ontario.

Could anyone tell me if the Ajax Hilton Garden Inn is for sale? Or what is happening with the Convension Centre that has "stopped" construction?
Neighbourhood residents are curious to know........
