DoubleTree by Hilton today debuted DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel, a modern 208-room property, conveniently situated between Washington and Baltimore. The hotel opens following a $5 million comprehensive transformation of the Holiday Inn Laurel West, which includes a total redesign of the lobby, fully-updated guest rooms and meeting spaces, new furnishings throughout the property, and a completely renovated atrium entrance. DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel is owned by Sotherly Hotels and managed by Chesapeake Hospitality.
“DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel has been completely refreshed and ready for business and leisure travelers visiting Washington and Baltimore, with convenient access to both destinations,” said John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton. “We are excited for guests to experience our DoubleTree by Hilton hospitality in this prime location, and to welcome guests with our signature warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in and with the little touches that make a big difference throughout their stay.”
The six-story DoubleTree by Hilton Laurel unveils a contemporary design made complete with a glass-domed atrium entrance, warm wood accents and a modern color palette of greys, browns and blues. Locally-inspired artwork adorns the walls throughout the property, and inviting guest rooms offer an array of updated features including 42″ HDTVs, mini refrigerators, in-room safes, and spacious work desks with connectivity panels.
Additional complimentary offerings include Wi-Fi throughout the hotel’s public areas and guest rooms, a 24-hour business center and 24-hour fitness center featuring Precor equipment. The hotel also offers free shuttle service within a five mile radius of the hotel. A 24-hour on-site laundry facility is also available for guests’ convenience.
As part of its renovation, the hotel debuts an updated restaurant, All American Sports Grille, open for all-day dining with seasonal lunch and dinner menus featuring regionally-inspired fare with an eclectic twist. Guests can also start their day with the brand’s Wake Up DoubleTree Breakfast and American-inspired à la carte lunch items at the Atrium Café, while those preferring to dine in the comfort of their room can conveniently order room service.
Featuring nine event rooms totaling more than 13,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, the hotel offers guests a variety of room options, making it the ideal setting for gatherings and events of up to 300 people. For smaller groups, the hotel offers the Meetings Simplified by DoubleTree by Hilton package from $58 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. Catering services and a dedicated event staff are available to enhance any event.
