The former Hilton hotel in Hartford was transformed into a hybrid hotel and apartment complex through resilience, adaptation, and ingenuity. The bold transformation saved the landmark property and injected new life into the city's downtown core. Hotel ownership knew the building held potential beyond traditional hospitality, and they envisioned a new chapter that would cater to the city's evolving needs. The $29 million redevelopment converted the upper 11 floors of the hotel into 147 modern apartments in partnership with RMS Companies. The lower floors were fully renovated and converted to the 170-key DoubleTree by Hilton.
"We are thrilled to unveil the DoubleTree by Hilton Hartford Downtown, offering both convenience and comfort in the heart of Connecticut's capital city," said Chris Nassetta, president and CEO, Hilton. "Whether guests are here for business, leisure, or to explore the city's rich history and culture, our warm welcome and thoughtful amenities will be a cherished destination for travelers and locals alike, providing unforgettable experiences infused with our signature hospitality."
Designed to address the city's growing demand for urban living, the hybrid model delivers a win-win for Hartford. This April, The Revel, a collection of sleek, modern apartments with panoramic city views, will welcome its first residents, offering a vibrant new living option in the heart of the city.
