Construction is under way at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, located here, on the conversion of its famed Stemmons Auditorium into a new ballroom.
The conversion will transform the 1,000-seat auditorium, which has hosted everything from high-profile movie premiers to popular recording artists, into an 8,300-square-foot ballroom divisible by four.
The auditorium’s transformation is the property’s first step in a $40 million renovation project, which will update the hotel’s 700 Tower guest rooms and Chantilly Ballroom over the next year.
The 1,606-room hotel sits on 45 acres and offers groups 341,000 square feet of function space.
