The bedroom of a suite at the Hilton Suites at Lexington Green on July 30, 1987, the day before it opened. The $14 million hotel was the Hilton Hotels Corp.’s first-ever franchised all- suites hotel. The hotel, with its 174 suites, is part of Lexington Green, a $47 million project developed by the Webb Cos. on Nicholasville Road. Lexington Green also contains a shopping center and a six-story office building. When the hotel opened, rates ranged from $65 to $125 a night. The Governor’s Suite was $250 a night. It was the second all-suite hotel to open in Lexington. In 1985, the Residence Inn opened off Newtown Pike. Photo by Frank Anderson | Staff
