AUSTIN, Texas
Hilton Worldwide and DoubleTree by Hilton announced the opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Austin Northwest - Arboretum, located less than a mile from the Arboretum shopping mall, and one block from the MoPac Expressway.
The hotel, formerly a Holiday Inn, debuts a multimillion-dollar transformation that includes a total redesign of the lobby, updated guest rooms, all-new furniture throughout, new restaurant and bar and expanded meeting and event space.
The hotel is owned by 8901 Austin Hotel LLC and managed by Driftwood Hospitality Management.
"With its beautiful redesign and convenience to the area's key business and leisure destinations, DoubleTree by Hilton Austin Northwest - Arboretum is a wonderful addition to our expanding portfolio, which now includes four hotels in the thriving Austin area," said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton.
Nestled in the hills of northwest Austin and located 18 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, DoubleTree by Hilton Austin Northwest - Arboretum is located near area businesses including IBM, Apple and AT&T, and offers guests access to I-35, outdoor malls, the University of Texas and downtown Austin.
The hotel debuts an eclectic, modern new look that celebrates a style that is uniquely Austin - from an energetic color palette that includes shades of greys, raspberry, teal and white to the contemporary furnishings and artwork from regional artists seen throughout the hotel's public areas, including a custom-made Word Cloud display made of adjectives that describe the vibrantly "weird" city.
A sleek, open lobby is designed with tech-savvy travelers in mind, and the hotel's 194 stylishly-appointed guest rooms feature vintage-style décor, all modern accommodations and in-room mini refrigerators.
Guests will enjoy an array of complimentary amenities, including a 24-hour fitness center, 24-hour business center, newly-renovated outdoor pool, and WiFi throughout the hotel's public areas and guest rooms. Shuttle service is also provided to guests within a four-mile radius of the hotel.
The Overlook is the hotel's new restaurant, open for all-day dining and featuring a menu of classic American fare with an Austin flair. Centre Lounge is the hotel's energetic new lobby bar.
Room service is available for guests seeking the convenience of in-room dining, and those looking for an array of grab-and-go options and a self-serve coffee bar can stop by the 24-hour market.
