JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
DoubleTree by Hilton opened the DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront, situated directly on the popular Riverwalk, which connects to Friendship Fountain Park.
Formerly a Crowne Plaza, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront completed a $12 million property-wide renovation that includes a complete redesign of the lobby, meeting spaces, restaurant and guest rooms. The hotel is owned by Sotherly Hotels, Inc. and managed by Chesapeake Hospitality.
The 10-story, 293-room DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront debuts a fresh makeover that celebrates the hotel’s noteworthy, mid-century modern architecture. Designed by award-winning firm Resort Interiors, the hotel’s fresh, new design aesthetic is marked by a chic, two-story atrium lobby and design touches influenced by the structured bridges and soothing waterways of northeast Florida.
Throughout their stay, guests can enjoy a range of complimentary amenities, including a large riverfront pool and sundeck with cabanas and loungers, a newly-expanded 24-hour fitness center featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool and city skyline, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
Among the hotel updates is a new restaurant, St. John’s Provision Co., offering all-day dining with an eclectic selection of locally-influenced entrees such as Mayport Shrimp and Grits and the Fried Green Tomato BLT. Guests can also visit Ruth’s Chris Steak House for a steak or lobster dish while taking in views of the St. John’s River. At Riverview Lounge, guests can relax with a cocktail before or after dinner in a casual atmosphere. Room service is also available for guests.
With 12,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, including a 4,600 square foot ballroom, DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront is an ideal venue to host weddings, special events and receptions for up to 500 people. Many of the 19 meeting rooms feature floor-to-ceiling views of the St. John River.
For smaller group meetings, the hotel offers the Meetings Simplified by DoubleTree by Hilton package from $35.00 per person, which includes the meeting room, basic meeting Wi-Fi, meeting supplies including a flipchart, markers, extension and power cord, and all day non-alcoholic beverage service.
DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront’s central location offers convenient access to local attractions such as the Museum of Science and History, Friendship Fountain, Jacksonville Zoo, the Jacksonville Maritime Heritage Center and the historic districts of San Marco, Riverside and Avondale.
DoubleTree by Hilton Jacksonville Riverfront participates in the Hilton HHonors loyalty program.
