Tempting Transformation for Arizona Meetings Mecca

PHOENIX/TEMPE, Ariz.

DoubleTree by Hilton and Driftwood Hospitality Management have announced the opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Tempe.

The former Fiesta Resort underwent a five-month, $3 million renovation that includes enhancements throughout the hotel's 270 guest rooms, updates to the public spaces and outdoor areas of the hotel, as well as revamping the food and beverage offerings. The hotel's updates complement the more than 30,000 square feet of expansive meeting, convention and exhibit space.

Inspired by the distinct architectural style of Frank Lloyd Wright, the contemporary DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Tempe features a traditional Southwestern design nestled in a serene landscape. Classic copper accents are incorporated throughout the hotel's interior décor, and new lighting and landscaping enhance the hotel's outdoor setting. On-site features and amenities include the Absolute Vitality Spa where clients can indulge in a selection of specialty spa services, a heated outdoor swimming pool where guests can enjoy live poolside entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights, an indoor whirlpool and a 1,500-square-foot 24-hour business center.

The hotel's flexible meeting space includes a ballroom-style conference center with separate entrance that can accommodate up to 780 people theatre-style, and a second ballroom that can accommodate up to 220. A 24-hour business center meets guests' connectivity and printing needs, and complimentary WiFi access is available throughout the hotel's public areas and guest rooms.

Milagro's Restaurant, the hotel's all-day dining venue, offers an updated menu of seasonal farm-to-table fare that includes salads, quesadillas, fish and steaks, and the hotel's popular tortilla soup. And at the Kachina Lounge, guests can enjoy tapas-style dishes with a southwestern flair, and a drink menu that has been expanded to include local Arizona beers and wines.
