DECATUR, Ala.
DoubleTree by Hilton announced the opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront, a five-story, 165-room hotel located in historic downtown Decatur, 14 miles from Huntsville International Airport.
Formerly a Garden Plaza hotel, the property closed in November 2014 to complete a $10 million transformation and reopens this month to debut a total redesign of the exterior and lobby, fully-updated guest rooms and suites, all new furniture, updated and expanded meeting spaces and a renovated atrium.
DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront is owned and managed by Cooper Hotels.
“A number of large corporations and local companies, as well as attractions such as the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge and Point Mallard Park can be found near our historic town, making it the quintessential place for both business and leisure travelers,” said Chad Udovich, general manager, DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront.
Guests at DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront will find a contemporary look and feel throughout the property and its stylishly-appointed guest rooms which feature all-modern conveniences, including in-room safes and mini refrigerators. Many of the rooms also offer sweeping views of the river.
In addition to upscale accommodations, guests can utilize an array of complimentary amenities, including the newly-updated indoor/outdoor pool and sun deck, 24-hour fitness center, 24-hour business center, and complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel’s public areas and guest rooms.
DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront also debuts a new dining concept: Twist Grill & Bar, located by the lobby and open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant features traditional southern favorites like shrimp and grits, fried and blackened catfish, Cajun pasta and molasses pork tenderloin.
DoubleTree by Hilton Decatur Riverfront offers the largest meeting and banquet facilities in the city. With 8,901 square feet of meeting space, including nine meeting rooms and a spacious 4,300-square-foot ballroom, the property provides an ideal setting for conferences and receptions of up to 650 people.
For smaller groups, the hotel offers the Meetings Simplified by DoubleTree by Hilton package from $25 per person, which includes the meeting room, basic meeting Wi-Fi, meeting room supplies including a flipchart, markers, extension and power cord, and all day non-alcoholic beverage service.
