Candlewood Suites

All the Comforts of Home for Privatized Lodging

Designing Candlewood Suites as Privatized Army Lodging was an exciting challenge for our team. These state-of-the-art properties offer one- and two-bedroom suites as well as studios that are a great fit for members of the military and their families who value a home-like hotel experience while traveling.

LOCATION: Fort Gordon, Georgia
COMPLETED: 2020


Coordinating the full design with the many government, national, and local codes while partnering on a design-build team presented numerous opportunities to provide excellent service to our client. All while helping them achieve their goal of providing the best on-post lodging experience for their guests as well as deliver IHG’s signature hospitality and amenities to travelers with the Department of Defense.

Our team partnered with Lendlease and IHG Army Hotels on the latest property in the Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL) Program. We were very proud to support the Candlewood Suites Fort Gordon development and help IHG deliver their signature hospitality to travelers with the Department of Defense. At 5-stories and 311 rooms, this on-post property is the world’s largest Candlewood Suites. Guests can relax in fully-equipped suites while enjoying amenities such as a 24-hour fitness facility, a business center, self-service laundry, and The Candlewood Cupboard.
