A New Cookie In Uptown: 400th DoubleTree by Hilton Welcomes Guests In Charlotte City Center with $12 Million Renovation
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, UNITED STATES, November 14, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The conversion of the Holiday Inn Charlotte Center City to a DoubleTree by Hilton has been completed, along with a 12-million-dollar renovation. This is the 400th DoubleTree by Hilton in the United States and Canada, marking an exciting milestone for the beloved Hilton portfolio’s hotel brand. Situated in a prime location, the revamped property serves as a premier destination for events and travel in the heart of the Charlotte Financial District.
The hotel’s full enhancement complements the theme and styling of the DoubleTree brand, known for its carefully considered amenities designed with guests' comfort in mind.
“We are excited to unveil our amazing transformation and introduce the extraordinary changes throughout the property,” said Vineet Nayyar, President & COO, Owned Division GF Hotels & Resorts and Hilton Full-Service Owners Advisory Council Member. “Guests can enjoy the award-winning service experience for which the DoubleTree by Hilton brand is known.”
Rooftop 230, the hotel’s sky-high event space, was the first area to experience dramatic changes. The newly refurbished open-air venue offers guests breathtaking scenery and over 7,000 square feet.
The project's most notable feature is the complete revitalization of all guest accommodations, each sporting one of two captivating design styles. Standard rooms feature lighter case goods, 55” televisions, black finishes and hardware, and carpeting. Deluxe rooms are located on higher floors and feature darker case goods, 65” televisions, gold finishes and hardware, and luxury vinyl tile. These rooms have been meticulously crafted, ensuring a setting of refined elegance.
The updated lobby welcomes guests with a sleek and modern feel. A new marketplace, named The Financial Grind, will please visitors with offerings of Starbucks® beverages, culinary delights, and an array of additional products.
Workout enthusiasts will enjoy the state-of-the-art Fitness Center featuring Pelotons®, as well as four brand new Five-Feet-to-Fitness guestrooms featuring in-room Peloton® equipment, guaranteeing the option of an active lifestyle while on the go.
DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center is thrilled to join the Hilton portfolio of properties and to greet guests with its signature warm chocolate chip cookie welcome.
