Rockbridge Capital Invests more than $10 Million in Renovations to
the Iconic Hotel Now Part of the Hilton Worldwide Portfolio
The
Campbell House Lexington today joins Curio
– A Collection by Hilton, Hilton Worldwide’s (NYSE: HLT)
rapidly-expanding global collection of distinctive upscale and luxury
hotels that caters to passionate travelers seeking local discovery and
authentic experiences. The Campbell House Lexington, Curio Collection by
Hilton is owned and developed by Rockbridge
Capital and managed by HP
Hotel Management, Inc.
The Campbell House Lexington is nestled in the heart of horse country
with local roots spanning more than six decades. Touting more than $10
million in guest room renovations, Rockbridge is proud to pay homage to
the hotel’s location deep in the heart of Kentucky. Conveniently located
minutes from downtown Lexington, the hotel is just four miles from the
legendary Keeneland Race Course, and moments away from University of
Kentucky and numerous shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.
“The spirit of our individual hotels define Curio, and it is an honor to
add The Campbell House to our ever-growing collection,” said Dianna
Vaughan, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “It is clear why
guests continue to return year after year to this charming Southern
hotel, loved for its traditional colonial style architecture, welcoming
front porch and distinctive personality.”
Construction on the hotel began in 1949, and the two-story building
opened its doors to the public in 1951 as The Campbell House Motor Inn.
By the early 1970s, the hotel began its process of transforming into a
glamorous destination with the addition of a pool and dining room. In
1979, the hotel added guest rooms, a fine dining restaurant and a world
class lounge, The Barrel Room. After decades of evolving – including
surviving a fire in 1986 – the hotel’s service, allure and deep history
are setting the stage to welcome a new beginning as part of the Hilton
Worldwide portfolio.
“We are excited to have The Campbell House Lexington in our growing
portfolio,” said Jim Merkel, CEO and founding partner of Rockbridge
Capital. “Our vision is to provide remarkable experiences, and Curio – A
Collection by Hilton is the perfect fit for the hotel’s distinctive
design and emphasis on local discovery.”
Known as one of the finest hotels in Kentucky, the 250-room The Campbell
House Lexington boasts 15 suites and equestrian-themed modern décor
mixed with Southern elegance. The hotel also offers numerous
award-winning services and amenities that today’s modern traveler has
come to expect. This includes a large indoor heated pool, 24-hour
