Taylor Hospitality, a Waynesboro, Virginia-based hospitality management company, has completed its acquisition of The Blennerhassett, the 1889 landmark hotel in downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia.
The 82-room hotel will be rebranded as The Blennerhassett, a Giovanni Hotel and Spa. In the fourth quarter it will join Trademark Collection by Wyndham, Wyndham’s soft brand for distinctive independent hotels. Taylor Hospitality will also modernize the property’s operating and revenue systems, including property management, reservations, revenue management, and digital presence.
The historic hotel features a spa, a restaurant and lounge, the 1889 Club speakeasy, a library, a garden patio, and on-site shops. The hotel will continue operating without interruption throughout the transition.
“The Blennerhassett does not need to be reinvented. It needs to be seen,” said Sean Taylor, founder and CEO, Taylor Hospitality. “This is a hotel with a 4.5-star reputation and a century of stories that most travelers have never heard of, because it has never been in front of them. Joining Trademark Collection by Wyndham puts it in front of more than 126 million Wyndham Rewards members who would not have had a reason to consider Parkersburg. Giovanni is where it belongs, and the guest experience people already love here is the part we are not touching.”
The financial aspects of the acquisition were not disclosed.
