Hilton
Worldwide and DoubleTree
by Hilton today announced the opening of DoubleTree
by Hilton Pittsburgh - Cranberry. Located in the heart of Cranberry
Township, the hotel marks the brand’s sixth property in the metropolitan
Pittsburgh area. Formerly a Four Points by Sheraton, the hotel has
commenced a multi-million dollar transformation as part of its
rebranding effort that includes contemporary design updates across the
property, a new food and beverage concept and additional enhancements to
its newly-updated guest rooms. Renovations are scheduled for completion
by late August 2015. The hotel has undergone new leadership that
includes ownership by Elmhurst
Group and DiCicco
Development, Inc., and management by Prospera
Hospitality, all Pittsburgh-based companies.
“At DoubleTree by Hilton, we strive to offer guests the 'little things'
that add up to create a rewarding travel experience – starting with our
warm chocolate chip cookie welcome and continuing through all touch
points of our guests’ stay,” said John Greenleaf, global head,
DoubleTree by Hilton. “With the guidance of the hotel’s committed and
passionate new leadership team, DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh
Cranberry is poised to become the premier full-service hotel choice for
business and leisure travelers in the market."
Through its ongoing renovations, DoubleTree by Hilton Pittsburgh
Cranberry will implement several exciting enhancements in the coming
months including the addition of a new porte-cochere and an expansive,
contemporary lobby featuring warm wood accents, natural sunlight and
beautiful green space. The hotel’s recently-renovated 189 guest rooms
will also see further improvements, including the addition of the
luxurious Sweet Dreams® by DoubleTree sleep experience. The
hotel’s expansive meeting and events space – which currently boasts over
23,000 square feet of meeting space and the second largest ballroom in
the market – will be fully renovated to better meet the needs of clients
and accommodate all types of gatherings, from intimate to large. The
restaurant will also be revamped into a Made Market, DoubleTree by
Hilton’s exclusive food and beverage concept featuring made-to-order
specialties, homemade favorites and locally-inspired dishes.
Guests will continue to enjoy the hotel’s array of complimentary
services and amenities, including a 24-hour fitness center, 24-hour
business center, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, whirlpool, sauna and
complimentary WiFi throughout the hotel’s public areas and guest rooms.
“We are very excited about bringing the DoubleTree by Hilton brand to
the Cranberry community,” said Bill Hunt, president, Elmhurst Group.
“Our vision for this hotel is to become a community hub – a Cranberry
town square of sorts – delivering the globally-renowned DoubleTree by
Hilton service culture both to guests and our local residents.”
Conveniently located at the intersection of three major thoroughfares –
Interstate 79, Pennsylvania Turnpike and State Route 19 – the hotel
offers guests close proximity to Pittsburgh-area businesses and
attractions, including: Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, Duquesne
Incline, Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium and all of the city’s
professional sports venues.
In addition to the signature warm chocolate chip cookie welcome, guests
will enjoy other DoubleTree by Hilton brand amenities, including an
assortment of gourmet in-room tea and coffee choices from The Coffee
Bean & Tea Leaf®, the refreshing new Aroma Actives
natural skin and body care line, and an industry-recognized service
culture built around the idea of CARE, which stands for Create a
Rewarding Experience for guests, team members and the community.
