DoubleTree by Hilton swoops into California’s Aerospace Valley

Entrance to Palmdale

DoubleTree by Hilton Palmdale reflects the unique aviation history of its home near LA. Currently taking reservations for 31 October 2021 onwards, it features 134 guestrooms, including corner rooms and suites, with views over the surrounding mountains.

“The launch of DoubleTree by Hilton Palmdale brings a brand that is synonymous with comfort in a home-away-from-home setting,” said Jeannette Vasquez, general manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Palmdale. “We are optimistic that we will be well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our guests safely, while delivering renowned levels of Hilton hospitality.”

Business and leisure

Each guestroom in this hotel will feature a 55” HD TV, mini-fridge, in-room safe and premium bath amenities.

During their stay, guests will benefit from amenities including a 24-hour fitness centre, outdoor pool and spacious event space with a special connectivity area. The public lobby space and Hangar 300 Bar & Restaurant, meanwhile, have been designed with both leisure and business travellers in mind.

The property aims to have more of a metropolitan upscale flair than an average Doubletree by Hilton hotel. Hundreds of unique items have been procured to better showcase the property’s elegant design.

Jim Spitzig, president of Level 3 Design Group, said: “We are managing every aspect and detail of this project from construction, design, FF&E purchasing, plus millwork and installation, so literally all hands are on deck. It’s exciting because it’s a great opportunity for the city of Palmdale. New hotel, new jobs, new guests, and I hope a great boost to their economy.”
