TEMPE, Ariz.—DoubleTree by Hilton and Driftwood Hospitality Management announced the opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Tempe. The former Fiesta Resort underwent a five-month, $3 million renovation to convert to the DoubleTree brand. The project included enhancements throughout the hotel’s 270 guestrooms, updates to the public spaces and outdoor areas of the hotel, as well as revamping the food and beverage offerings.
Inspired by the distinct architectural style of Frank Lloyd Wright, the contemporary DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Tempe features a traditional Southwestern design. Copper accents are incorporated throughout the hotel’s interior décor, and new lighting and landscaping enhance the hotel’s outdoor setting. On-site features and amenities include the Absolute Vitality Spa, a heated outdoor swimming pool, an indoor whirlpool, and a 1,500 square foot 24-hour business center.
“With its unique southwestern charm and upscale offerings, DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix Tempe was the perfect hotel to expand our southwest portfolio,” said John Greenleaf, global head – DoubleTree by Hilton. “The hotel joins our three existing properties in the greater Phoenix area, including DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix-Gilbert, DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Phoenix Airport Hotel and DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Paradise Valley – Scottsdale.”
The hotel’s meeting space includes a ballroom-style conference center with separate entrance that can accommodate up to 780 people theatre-style, and a second ballroom that can accommodate up to 220.
