WOBURN, MA, November 17, 2006. Hilton Hotels announced today that Woburn's largest hotel property has successfully completed a 'head-to-toe hotel makeover' and has become the Hilton Boston/Woburn. Catherine Stevens, the hotel's general manager, explains the scope of the renovation: "It truly is a major makeover. From dramatic new guestroom furnishings, to the creation of a brand new 'ultra lounge' to gorgeous new private dining rooms, meeting rooms and ballrooms, every inch of the former hotel has been changed to deliver on the high standards our guests expect from Hilton and to help shape their journeys. We look forward to taking care of all our guests with not only the beautiful new style and amenities, but also with equally high standards of service."

The Hilton Boston/Woburn is operated by CS Hotels Limited Partnership, under a franchise license agreement with Hilton Inns, Inc., a franchising subsidiary of Beverly Hills-based Hilton Hotels Corporation. Columbia Sussex Corporation manages the hotel.

"The Hilton Boston/Woburn has been redesigned with our guests' needs in mind to deliver on their expectations and get the most out of their travels," said Jeff Diskin, senior vice president, Hilton brand management. "Following the opening of the landmark Hilton Boston Financial District earlier this year, this property illustrates our commitment to unique and enriching travel experiences in the Boston area."
