@HOME by Best Western® Debuts in Southeast with New Extended-Stay Hotel

The five-story, 128-suite new-build development in McDonough, Ga., brings modern extended-stay accommodations to the fast-growing logistics and distribution corridor south of Atlanta

PHOENIX, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BWH® Hotels, the leading hospitality enterprise comprised of three hotel companies including WorldHotels™, Best Western® Hotels & Resorts and SureStay® Hotels, today announced the opening of @HOME by Best Western McDonough, a newly constructed five-story, 128-suite extended-stay hotel. Located at 34 Liberty Industrial Parkway, the property brings contemporary, apartment-like lodging to one of the fastest-growing logistics and industrial corridors in the Southeast.

The hotel was developed by Raj Patel and Apsilon Hotels, a premier hotel ownership and management company overseeing 18 Atlanta-area hotels, including the Best Western® Plus Atlanta Airport-East and the Best Western Plus Fairburn-Atlanta Southwest.

"The opening of the first @HOME by Best Western hotel in Georgia and throughout the Southeast marks a significant milestone for the extended-stay brand," said Raj Patel, Chief Executive Officer of Apsilon Hotels. "Selecting McDonough for this project was a strategic choice driven by the area's robust economic growth along the I-75 corridor and strong demand from business, logistics and long-term travelers. Designed to deliver a streamlined extended-stay experience, @HOME by Best Western strikes the right balance between the comforts of home and the convenience of hotel living."

Conveniently located off Interstate 75 (Exit 216), the hotel is designed to meet rising extended-stay demand from both business and leisure travelers. The property offers access to regional commerce centers, including more than 80 million square feet of industrial and distribution facilities and Norfolk Southern's corporate training facility, while remaining just minutes from Historic Downtown McDonough, Heritage Park and Atlanta Motor Speedway. Well positioned to support the area's growing workforce and business community, @HOME by Best Western provides an ideal lodging solution for project-based workers, employee relocations, corporate training programs and other longer-term stay needs.

Each suite serves as a personal retreat, featuring thoughtfully designed kitchens and workspaces. Property amenities include inviting community areas, a lobby market, a fitness center, guest laundry facilities and on-property storage closets that allow extended-stay guests to safely store personal items outside their guestrooms. The hotel also offers complimentary self-parking with dedicated wide-berth spaces to easily accommodate large trucks and RVs, EV charging and pet-friendly accommodations.

Brand Growth & Pipeline
The McDonough property marks the second @HOME by Best Western location to open in the United States, following the brand's debut in St. George, Utah, and the recent opening in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. A second Atlanta-area property in Fairburn, Ga., also developed by Apsilon Hotels, is slated to open in 2027. These openings reflect the growing momentum behind the brand and BWH Hotels' continued investment in the category. Across its extended-stay portfolio, the company's global pipeline is projected to reach 34 hotels and 2,791 rooms by the end of 2026.

"Extended-stay remains one of the most resilient and attractive segments in hospitality, and @HOME by Best Western is proving to be a powerful growth vehicle for our developers," said Brad LeBlanc, Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer for BWH Hotels. "With a growing global pipeline and strong interest across multiple markets, we're building a brand that delivers what today's guests want and what owners need: an efficient operating model, a compelling value proposition and long-term growth potential."
