Sunray Group expands footprint with launch of Home2 Suites by Hilton in Kitchener

The launch emphasizes Sunray’s strategy of aligning with strong global brands like Hilton to enhance its portfolio and deliver consistent, high-quality guest experiences. The property’s extended-stay focus reflects the growing demand for flexible accommodations in the Kitchener-Waterloo region, an area known for its tech sector, educational institutions, and burgeoning tourism industry.

The Home2 Suites brand caters to business and leisure travellers with amenities designed to meet evolving guest preferences. Highlights of the Kitchener property include:

• Fully equipped kitchenettes in every suite
• Complimentary hot breakfast and parking
• An indoor pool with slides
• Fitness and business centres

This dual-branded location allows Sunray to target distinct market segments, offering synergy between the DoubleTree and Home2 Suites under one operational umbrella.

Dual-property general manager Smruti S. will oversee the new hotel alongside the neighbouring DoubleTree. Sunray praised Smruti’s leadership and highlighted the importance of Hilton’s collaboration in bringing the project to fruition: “This opening demonstrates our continued commitment to growth and innovation in Canada’s hospitality sector. Hilton’s support has been instrumental in enabling us to deliver a world-class property tailored to the needs of today’s travellers.”
