Hotel Company Plans to Renovate and Reinvigorate Popular Battle Creek Business Hotel


Innisfree Hotels has assumed operations of the McCamly Plaza Hotel located in Battle Creek, Mich. Adjacent to a shopping and dining complex and in close proximity to major corporations and attractions, the hotel is a popular stop for business and conference travelers.


Now under Innisfree management, the hotel will undergo a $3.5 million renovation and begin conversion to a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in the first quarter of 2017. In addition to the renovation, Innisfree is planning a complete rebranding of the hotel’s on-site restaurant.


“Innisfree Hotels is proud to be part of the Battle Creek community,” says Jason Nicholson, Vice-President of Hotel Operations for Innisfree Hotels. “Our company has a history of not only improving businesses through our management practices, but also positively influencing the local economy and quality of life.”


The 239-room hotel features the following amenities:



  • Indoor Swimming Pool

  • Valet and Self Parking

  • High-Speed Internet

  • On-Site Restaurant

  • 25,000 Sq. Ft. Meeting Room, Including 4,900 Sq. Ft. Penthouse Event Space


The McCamly Plaza hotel is owned by Neil Freeman, Chairman and CEO of Aries Capital. Originally built as a corporate hotel for Kellogg Corporation, the property still enjoys an intimate relationship with this and other Michigan-based industries.


“Innisfree Hotels will take intentional steps to foster these relationships to make McCamly Plaza the hotel of choice for corporate travel and meetings,” Nicholson says. “We’re very excited to see the improvements that will allow the hotel to better serve the local community and its long-standing corporate partners.”
