Expanding its presence in the Memphis-area market, BWH Hotels has opened the 80-room GLō Best Western Olive Branch in Mississippi.
The property is owned and operated by Olive Branch, Miss.-based Yogi DeSoto Corporation and was built by Patel Construction. The hotel is located in DeSoto County, within the Memphis logistics market and near major employers and distribution networks. The area also attracts visitors for youth sports tournaments and access to attractions in the broader Mississippi and Memphis region.
The newly constructed hotel includes a fitness center overlooking an outdoor pool, along with outdoor seating, grilling stations and a fire pit. The property also incorporates artwork referencing local cultural destinations.
“Olive Branch represents an exciting opportunity to bring a new hospitality offering to a dynamic community,” Chintu Patel, managing partner, Yogi DeSoto Corp., said in a statement. “We were drawn to the market’s strong economic growth, expanding business landscape and increasing demand from travelers visiting the Memphis region. GLō’s modern design, guest-focused amenities, and inviting social layout make it the perfect fit for guests looking for a fresh and elevated stay experience.”
“GLō continues to redefine what travelers can expect from a suburban hotel, offering elevated yet accessible experiences in high-growth markets,” added Amy Hulbert, VP of boutique and upscale brands at BWH Hotels.
