Entering its ninth year of service, the Hilton Scranton and Conference Center is undergoing a top-to-bottom renovation.Hotel owner, Linchris Hotel Corp. of Hanover, Mass., will spend $3 million on the project.
This year, the hotel completed renovations to public areas, including Trolleys Bistro, PJ's 1910 Pub, the grand ballroom and the conference center. Next month, those areas will receive new furniture and some new lighting fixtures, as well.
That's also when work moves upstairs as remodeling of the 175 guest rooms begins. Rooms will be gutted, fitted with new wall coverings, curtains and drapes. Guests also will notice faster Wi-Fi, in addition to hardwire connection, throughout the hotel.
The renovations will not disrupt hotel operations, but each floor of guest rooms will be shut down for the amount of time it will take crews to complete renovations. They'll start on the first of five floors of guest rooms Monday and work their way up. They expect to finish by April or May.
