Look out, University City: there's a new kid on campus. This morning, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for a new 212-key, 145,000 square-foot hotel on Drexel's campus, expected to be completed by fall 2016. And it's a beauty.
The Study at University City, developed and owned by hotel development company Hospitality 3 and operated by Study Hotels, is expected to be a boon to desperately under-served University City, whose few hotels book up yonks before graduation weekends or sporting events.
"University City is home to one of the world's great intellectual ecosystems in one of the most transit-accessible locations," says Drexel president John A. Fry. "What has been missing is an outstanding hotel for students and families, faculty, researchers, entrepreneurs and all visitors drawn to this unique place. We are very excited to partner with Hospitality 3 to bring the Study Hotels concept to our campus in West Philadelphia and to connect hotel operations to the community, through collaboration and civic engagement."
