LONG ISLAND, N.Y.
Dow Hotel Company (DHC), a hotel owner/investor and management company, has unveiled the renovation of the Hilton Long Island/Huntington in Melville, N.Y.
The 303-room hotel, owned in a joint venture between DHC and Prudential, underwent a $16 million makeover that included upgrading hotel rooms, corridors and public spaces, as well as creating a new lobby, new restaurant and a steakhouse scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2013.
“The transformation of this hotel has been remarkable,” said Ellen Ruane, general manager.
The comprehensive renovations include the completely made over hotel lobby, which now boasts a brand new front desk and business center, as well as upgraded high-speed Internet service. All guest rooms, suites and corridors were upgraded, and the executive lounge, an added amenity for concierge level guests, was enhanced to incorporate a private business center, specialty coffee offerings and a fresh new look.
The hotel offers the most meeting and banquet space on Long Island with 26,000 square feet of flexible meeting rooms and the area’s largest ballroom, a two-story event space with a built-in bar and dance floor. The ballroom and meeting space have been updated completely with enhanced internet connectivity for meetings. The hotel can serve groups and social events ranging from five to 1,200 attendees.
