“Over the years, the demand for hotels in Providence has grown exponentially for several reasons including more events at the Convention Center, cultural attractions like WaterFire, concerts, and sporting events,” said Michael A. Voccola, Corporate Vice President of Procaccianti Companies, Inc. “Realizing there were no extended stay hotel products in downtown, we selected a Residence Inn by Marriott as the appropriate hotel type.”
“This redevelopment is very exciting,” said Jason Clough, Senior Project Engineer/Project Manager at DiPrete Engineering. “With the growing demand for lodging in Providence, this new Residence Inn is a prime location for both tourists and people traveling for business.”
