constructed at CitySquare, Timothy
Murray – president and CEO of the
Worcester Regional Chamber of
Commerce – foresees some hotels
and meeting venues making
improvements to compete,
especially as the AC Hotel has an
edge with its central, walkable
location.
It's a block or two from Union
Station and the DCU Center, for
example, and not far from
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
and Becker College.
"You can't get a much better
spot," he said.
The new hotel will obviously
impact the hospitality market, said
Jim Moughan, assistant general
manager and director of sales for
the DCU Center, which, in addition
to exhibition space, has 11
meeting rooms.
"As more hotels come in, it
keeps everyone on their game," he
said. "Hotel rates will probably go
up a little bit … then rates may
stabilize."
More lodging = more
meetings
Where technically the new
hotel will be competition for DCU
Center meeting space, overall
gains exist for the convention
center and for the city, Moughan
said, because the AC Hotel provides
lodging. Both he, Wardzala and
Murray talked of the deficit in
hotel rooms in Worcester.
"The DCU Center is trying to
bring things like tournament
events into the city, but the
number of hotels is a factor,"
Murray said. "The presence of a
four-star, full-service hotel with a
restaurant will be an added plus
for us trying to market Worcester.
Many [people] want hotels within
walking distance."
The city, with 745 hotel rooms,
has had a shortage of lodging
space for years, Murray said. By
way of comparison, Hartford has
Hotels such as Worcester's Beechwood
offer familiarity, amenities, and one-
stop convenience for convention-goers
and others, helping them compete with
newer lodging services such as Airbnb,
through which travelers can book
shor t-term stays in homes or
apar tments over the Internet.
