Northampton Announces Opening of World's First aloft-Brand Hotel at Trudeau International Airport

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
Northampton Group Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NHG)(TSX VENTURE: NHG.DB), a
leading Canadian hotelier, with its development partner Silver Hotel
Group, today announced the opening of their new hotel, the aloft Montreal
Airport. The opening of this hotel marks the global debut of the
much-anticipated new lifestyle brand, aloft(TM) hotels by Starwood Hotels
& Resorts Worldwide, Inc., with upwards of 90 development projects in
more than 10 countries already announced.

The sleek and dynamic 136-room hotel offers a wide range of appealing
amenities - seamless technologies, warm and attractive public spaces,
loft-inspired design - combined with a convenient location at the
entrance to Trudeau International Airport, a mere 20 minutes from the
style and sophistication of Montreal's downtown.

Part of Starwood's Vision of W Hotels series, the aloft Montreal Airport
offers a fresh new approach to lodging. With hip urban design, a bright
and airy feel, technology access everywhere, and public spaces that are
designed to draw guests from their rooms to work, eat, play, and
socialize, the aloft Montreal Airport has created a total sensory
experience. Guest rooms feature nine-foot ceilings and huge windows,
highlighting the platform beds and large, stylish bathrooms complete with
oversized walk-in showers and bliss(TM) spa amenities. Each room is also
a combination high-tech office and entertainment centre, with wireless
internet, a large flat-panel TV screen, and one-stop connectivity
solutions for all the myriad electronic gadgetry that modern travelers
require.

The aloft Montreal Airport is the first entry in Northampton's new
strategic development initiative, developed and built in conjunction with
the Silver Hotel Group. The partnership has already announced the
purchase of land for its next hotel in Vaughan, north of Toronto.

"Northampton plans to continue an aggressive expansion into
under-serviced areas," said Vinod Patel, President and CEO of the
Northampton Group. "The aloft Montreal Airport represents the essence of
this expansion, targeting a younger demographic with flair and panache."

"With the aloft Montreal Airport, we have opened the door for a new type
of hotel development and a fresh lifestyle brand," said Deepak Ruparell,
President of the Silver Hotel Group. "We are pleased to have been the
first of the aloft hotels globally."
