BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2003

Hilton Hotels Corporation has announced the opening of the newly constructed 273-suite Embassy Suites Hotel(R) Boston at Logan Airport, representing the newest addition to the growing roster of 170 upscale Embassy Suites Hotels, including 34 airport hotels.

"We are delighted to announce the entry of Embassy Suites Hotels into the Boston Logan Airport market, where there is a clear need for upscale all-suite accommodations," said Steve Lambert, general manager. "The spaciousness of authentic two-room suites, enabling guests to separate work and personal space, will greatly appeal to business travelers in a market where customers traditionally have been relegated to less-spacious, one-room hotel accommodations."

Located at the perimeter of the airport, the new Embassy Suites Hotel Boston at Logan Airport provides guests with a full complement of services and amenities, including complimentary airport and city transportation, 16 meeting rooms representing 8,000 square feet of meeting space, a business center, an indoor pool, a whirlpool, and health club featuring fitness and state-of-the-art cardiovascular equipment.

The upscale hotel features guest amenities consistent with the Embassy Suites Hotels brand, including spacious, two-room suites that offer: a separate living area with a sofa bed and desk; private bedroom; bath; two televisions; complimentary high-speed Internet access; two dual-line phones with Dataport modems; a wet bar, refrigerator and microwave oven; and an iron and ironing board.

All Embassy Suites Hotels offer a complimentary full cooked-to-order breakfast each morning and a two-hour Manager's Reception(a) each evening.

The hotel's full-service restaurant, Varekai, featuring an exciting circus-style theme and seating 150 throughout the atrium lobby, offers delicious fare by Chef Vilma Ajanel.

The Embassy Suites Hotel Boston at Logan Airport is located one mile from downtown Boston, at: 207 Porter Street, East Boston, MA 02128; phone: 617-567-5000; fax: 617-567-5999.
