ARLINGTON, Texas - March 14, 2014 - The Hilton Arlington Hotel, located near AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas between Dallas and Fort Worth, is proud to announce the completion of its multimillion-dollar hotel renovation on March 17, 2014. The total hotel refresh includes all 308 guestrooms and suites, public corridors, lobby, meeting and event space, exterior facade, fitness and business centers, restaurant and executive lounge.
The redesign of the Arlington, Texas hotel integrates the recently launched global repositioning and design of Hilton Hotels & Resorts® brand portfolio and incorporates the brand's earthy design palette of blues, browns, and beige hues throughout the overall aesthetic. The Hilton Arlington now provides a gracious sense of arrival for its guests with a new lobby concept and also features creatively integrated spaces that improve the ease of conducting business in and out of the guestroom and an updated venue for local residents and businesses of the Arlington, Texas area.
"2014 has been an incredible year of change for the Hilton Arlington. This renovation has transformed the traveling experience for our guests. From their arrival into a refreshingly new, open lobby concept to ending the day in our new guestroom accommodations that feature contemporary work spaces, the Hilton Arlington guest will leave feeling accomplished and well rested," says James Shandor, General Manager.
Each of the hotel's renovated guestrooms have been redesigned with the comfort and traveling needs of its guest in mind, featuring Hilton's Luxury bedding package, all new flooring, bedding, wall treatments, artwork and 42" high-definition televisions. Contemporary new workspaces in each guestroom provide the space and plug-in capabilities needed to create a temporary office. Standard room amenities include complimentary basic Wi-Fi, On-Demand movies, web-TV, mini refrigerator, new iHome alarm clocks, and a laptop-sized safe.
The new lobby design of Hilton Arlington reflects the brand's commitment to exploring the latest design and technology innovations, ensuring the lobby is an engaging environment relevant for today's global travelers. Accessible technology, contemporary food and beverage offerings and an adaptable environment for community engagement are three landmarks of the Hilton lobby design approach. The new lobby concept will now feature the Hilton Connectivity Lounge bringing the space front and center, and now includes workstations and a communal worktable. The check-in experience has also been transformed with pod-style front desks allowing guests to interact more directly with personalized service.
