IN SUBURBAN DETROIT
Doubletree Hotel Dearborn Celebrates Multi-Million-Dollar
Motor City Makeover With New Brand Affiliation
DETROIT (January 20, 2006) - Doubletree Hotels proudly announces
the opening of the Doubletree
Hotel Dearborn, representing the latest full-service addition
to join the brand's portfolio of more than 150 fine properties
across North America. Located halfway between downtown Detroit
and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, and across
from Ford World Headquarters, the Doubletree Hotel Dearborn
offers easy access to all of the Motor City's major attractions,
including the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, Fairlane
Town Center Mall, Greektown, Ford Field and the city's casinos.
As part of their new Doubletree affiliation, the hotel is
placing the final touches on a multi- million dollar product
enhancement project that has rejuvenated and recharged this
347-room, full-service hotel.
Formerly a Holiday Inn , the Doubletree Hotel Dearborn is
owned by EH Associates Limited Partnership, operated under
a franchise agreement with Doubletree Hotel Systems, Inc.,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation and
managed by Winegardner & Hammons, Inc. The hotel is projected
to have increased business levels by converting to the upscale
segment, which will create new jobs and satisfy an identified
need in the market for a contemporary, full service hotel.
"Our hotel development team continues to demonstrate
that there still is demand for higher quality accommodations
in this market and a desire to become affiliated with Doubletree
and the Hilton Family of Hotels across the U.S. and Canada,"
said Dave Horton, senior vice president - brand management
for Doubletree Hotels. "We are proud to open our third
Detroit Metro Doubletree hotel in Dearborn and we look forward
to sharing our brand's tradition of a warm, comfortable and
personable hotel experience with visitors and residents alike."

fountains, ambient satellite music, flat-screen televisions
and a Starbucks® Coffee Bar provides the perfect gathering
place for colleagues, friends or family to gather at the beginning
or end of a busy day.
Getting rest and relaxation when you are away from home is
important. All 347 guestrooms at the Doubletree Hotel Dearborn,
including an Executive Floor and six suites, have been refreshed
with wireless high-speed Internet access and sophisticated,
contemporary furnishings in a palette of rich rusts and warm
red and brown hues. The hotel also is proud to offer the Sweet
Dreams® by Doubletree Sleep Experience - which includes
a plentiful amount of pillows, a luxurious linen package of
a down-filled duvet wrapped in triple sheeting and a specially

to include upgraded lighting, new vanities with granite counters,
updated fixtures and a curved shower rod that allows for 20%
