Atlific Hotels Announces Opening of a Holiday Inn Express in Vaughan, Ontario

Toronto (May 14, 2008) — Atlific Hotels brings quality service and familiar comfort to Vaughan with the opening of Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Vaughan Southwest. Carefully constructed to become an industry leader in energy efficiency, this property’s smart brand, convenient location and abundant amenities make it an ideal choice for travellers to the Greater Toronto Area.

“We are excited to bring such a strong brand to an area that has so much to offer,” said Philippe Gadbois, senior vice-president, Atlific Hotels. “With the Holiday Inn Express brand it’s easy to Stay Smart®. Our guests are clever, smart and independent seeking a quality hotel at a great value. This property was designed to offer both frequent travellers and families just that with a chic design in close proximity to Vaughan’s increasing number of banquet facilities, sports venues and corporate business parks.”

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Vaughan Southwest features 125 guestrooms and suites. Calming earth tone decor, advanced technology and Simply Smart® bedding combine to provide a great guest experience. Flat Screen LCD TVs and complimentary Hi-Speed Internet are, of course, standard in all rooms. Suites offer ideal comfort for longer stays with refrigerators and microwaves. Affordable rates include business and family-friendly features like complimentary Express Start® Breakfast Bar and a Simply Smart® guest bathroom (with plenty of big fluffy 100% cotton towels). Plus kids under 19 stay free. The Hotel also features an indoor pool with whirlpool and a well-equipped fitness room.

Conveniently located on Highway 7 at the corner of Highway 27, the Hotel is located within Vaughan West Business Park and provides easy access to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport and a number of local businesses and banquet facilities as well as Toronto attractions. Groups of up to 100 will appreciate the hotel’s convenient, energy-efficient meeting space equipped with built-in audio-visual technology.

Some of the local attractions include: Vaughan Mills Shopping Centre, Canada’s Wonderland, Wild Water Kingdom, La Primavera Banquet Hall, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum, and Woodbine Entertainment Racing & Slots.

Careful consideration was taken at time of development to find ways to make this new Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites an industry leader for energy efficiency. Intelligent motion sensing thermostats automatically adjust the temperature in guest rooms, common areas and meeting facilities when not in use. Instantaneous hot water heaters eliminate the need for oversize water tanks known to waste large amounts of electricity. An ‘Energy Recovery Unit’ captures energy from exhausted air and redistributes that energy back into common areas such as corridors.

The inviting indoor pool area features an Energy Recycler Dehumidifier which lowers the amount of energy consumption. All exterior windows in the hotel were tinted to a low “e” rating and PTAC heaters provide heat via condensing hydronic boilers rather than the less efficient traditional electric heating.

To become one of the first guests of this brand new property, take advantage of the Opening Advance Purchase Offer from $126 per night. Visit www.hiexvaughan.com for details and booking. Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Vaughan Southwest will give you the comforts and conveniences you want at a value you deserve. Stay Smart.® Stay at Holiday Inn Express.
