Hilton (NYSE: HLT) recently announced the opening of LivSmart Studios by Hilton Kokomo, marking the brand’s first property in the Midwest and second to open nationwide. Designed for long-stay guests, the 137-room hotel delivers an apartment-style experience tailored for modern workforce travelers.
Located in North Central Indiana’s largest city, the new LivSmart Studios brings much-needed accommodations to support Kokomo’s expanding manufacturing and energy sectors. Each suite includes a full kitchen, flexible living and workspace, ample storage, and modern amenities such as on-site laundry, secure package delivery, and outdoor social spaces.
LivSmart Studios by Hilton Kokomo is located at 5138 Cartwright Drive and is owned by Sun Management & Development Corporation. The property builds on Hilton’s momentum following the successful debut of LivSmart Studios by Hilton Tullahoma in Tennessee last year, as the brand continues expanding into workforce-driven markets across the country.
LivSmart Studios is designed to serve a vastly underserved segment—those seeking long-stay accommodations for 10 nights or more—while offering owners a cost-effective, scalable model backed by Hilton’s world-class commercial engine. The brand fills a critical void in the extended-stay market by offering a reliable, high-quality experience for guests and a compelling opportunity for owners.
With more than 100 hotels that are expected to open in the coming years and more than 225 deals in various stages of negotiation, LivSmart Studios by Hilton is rapidly growing to meet the evolving needs of long-stay travelers.
