DoubleTree by Hilton Pleasant Prairie Kenosha has joined the global portfolio of Hilton Worldwide after the completion of its $3.5 million renovation.

The conversion and renovation of the 120-room hotel includes upgrades to the guest rooms, meeting spaces and public spaces, including the lobby, market, business centre, fitness centre and pool area, and incorporates modern architecture within a warm atmosphere.

The reopening will be celebrated in April 2017 with a grand reopening event and ribbon cutting.

“Whether in town for business or pleasure, DoubleTree by Hilton Pleasant Prairie Kenosha provides guests with access to some of the area’s main attractions, from Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets across the street to Jelly Belly Candy Company, Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbour just a few miles away,” said Dianna Vaughan, senior vice president and global head, DoubleTree by Hilton.

“We look forward to welcoming guests to Pleasant Prairie with our warm DoubleTree Cookie upon arrival and friendly service throughout their stay.”

The hotel is managed by First Hospitality Group.

“We are pleased to reintroduce this property to the Pleasant Prairie community under the Hilton brand,” said Robert Habeeb, chief executive officer, First Hospitality Group.

“Coupled with the popular attractions in the area, we are confident that the renovations made will help to continue driving more traffic to the area.
