Hilton Garden Inn Media to open its doors tomorrow with ribbon cutting ceremony
Just in time for the nation’s semiquincentennial celebrations Delaware County is welcoming its newest hotel.
On Tuesday, the nearly 18,000 square foot Hilton Garden Inn Media will open at the former Franklin Mint complex in Middletown Township.
In touting the four-story, 107-room hotel at 2 Donovan Place, company officials say the county’s newest full-service hotel is strategically positioned to be one of the region’s prime locations ahead of the 2026 tourism surge that will see multiple major events including America250 celebrations, the PGA Championship, and FIFA World Cup events.
A press release announcing the opening states that the state-of-the-art hospitality offerings include digital-first guest technology along with expansive meeting and event space.
The new hotel will bring 40 new hospitality positions. More than 200 people took part in the building’s construction.
The hotel is owned by Patrick J. Burns through his management company Metro Philly Management. Burns owns two other Delaware County hotels, including the Courtyard Marriott in Springfield and the Fairfield Suites in Marple, as well as ShopRite supermarkets in Drexel Hill and Brookhaven.
Burns will be at the ribbon cutting along with Steve Byrne, executive director of Visit Delco PA and Representatives from Middletown Township. He is also the chair for America250PA.
Hotel officials say the Hilton will be the only full-service hotel with large meeting and catering space within a 7-mile radius and is uniquely situated close to Wawa headquarters SAP in Newtown, IceWorks and Neumann University in Aston and Penn State Brandywine just up the road in Middletown.
A website for the new hotel states it will begin taking reservations for the night of Dec. 22 and d23.
Amenities include a fitness room, free parking, a restaurant that serves breakfast and dinner, meeting facilities and pet friendly rooms. The hotel is entirely smoking free. Rates are listed as starting at $112.
Guided tours of the property will be available following the ribbon Tuesday at 10:30 a.m.
