Cobblestone Hotels Ventures Into “Soft” Branding With a Partnership With Two Hotels in Michigan

Published on March 9, 2014

NEENAH, WISCONSIN – Cobblestone Hotels is proud to announce the newest additions to their brand umbrella. On February 1st the Rockwell Lake Lodge and the Hillsdale College Dow Hotel and Conference Center, both owned by prestigious Hillsdale College, joined the family to launch the brand’s soft branding initiative. “We are honored to partner with Hillsdale College on these projects” says Brian Wogernese, President of Cobblestone Hotels. “In the early stages of this venture we realized that a “soft branding” approach was better for each party. The Dow Hotel and Conference Center and the Rockwell Lake Lodge are unique properties whose attributes do not fit into the typical hotel model.” Cobblestone Hotels puts a huge emphasis on personal and market driven service. “This is one of the reasons why our clients, our guests, and our hoteliers enjoy working with us,” says Jessica Junker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Cobblestone Hotels. “They deserve attention that highlights their uniqueness and that is what Cobblestone Hotels is all about, one on one attention.” Mike Harner, Chief Staff officer at Hillsdale College added that, “Hillsdale College wanted to work with someone that would offer branding that would honor our own brand initiatives. Cobblestone Hotels put together a program that would work for all parties involved. We are excited about this partnership.” WHG Companies, a hospitality management company with over 20 years of hotel and restaurant management experience, will be taking over management of the properties. In the process, extensive physical and process improvements will occur.

The Hillsdale College Dow Leadership Hotel and Conference Center, located at 22 East Galloway Drive in Hillsdale, Michigan, on the Hillsdale College Campus will undergo a complete renovation with new flooring, case and soft goods, and much more.
