SALT LAKE CITY & MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DoubleTree by Hilton today announced the opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Salt Lake City Airport, a modern, lakeside hotel located two miles from Salt Lake City International Airport. The 288-room hotel opens following a $5.3 million property-wide renovation to update guest rooms and public spaces with new furnishings and design throughout. Formerly the Hilton Salt Lake City Airport, the hotel remains part of the Hilton Worldwide portfolio under the leadership of new owner and operator, Aimbridge Hospitality and now will greet guests with an oven-baked chocolate chip cookie, a welcoming gesture known around the world as the signature of the DoubleTree by Hilton brand.
“The reflagging to a DoubleTree by Hilton signals both leisure and business travelers that they will enjoy special comforts and acts of kindness that align perfectly with this relaxed lakeside location,” said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. “The DoubleTree by Hilton brand is well-known for its caring culture and the genuine warmth of our associates will resonate with our guests and be evident throughout the property, from guest rooms to meeting space.”
DoubleTree by Hilton Salt Lake City Airport debuts spacious, contemporary accommodations that include replacing the former hotel’s southwestern design with modern furnishings and design throughout guest rooms and public areas. All guest rooms offer views either of the adjacent lake or nearby mountains. A perfect destination for weddings, special events and meetings, the hotel offers 13,000 square feet of flexible event space, including a 3,948 square foot ballroom that can accommodate up to 500. The majority of the event spaces feature floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of the hotel’s surroundings.
In addition to the hotel’s design updates, DoubleTree by Hilton Salt Lake City Airport also rolls out refreshed food and beverage offerings. Grill 114, the hotel’s spacious restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, offers a delectable menu of upscale American cuisine featuring seasonal dishes with local southwest influences. The hotel’s cozy fireside lounge, Club 114, offers a more casual dining experience with light bites and a delicious beverage featuring a selection of popular local microbrews.
For guests seeking to relax and reenergize, the hotel offers an indoor pool, whirlpool and 24-hour complimentary fitness center. Guests are also invited to enjoy the hotel’s many outdoor leisure offerings, including a jogging path around the lake, putting green and all-sport court featuring basketball.
With its close proximity to the airport and a location just seven miles from downtown Salt Lake City, guests will enjoy easy access to major businesses and attractions, including Salt Palace Convention Center, Energy Solutions Arena and Great Salt Lake. Less than an hour away are 13 world-class ski resorts including Snowbird and Park City Mountain Resort.
