Upscale, Full-Service Hotels Debut in the Heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley and Upstate New York’s Adirondacks Region near Major Attractions and Colleges

September 19, 2017 // Franchising.com // MCLEAN, Va. - Travelers who wait all year to enjoy beautiful landscapes painted with a diverse color palette of leaves have two new destinations to consider this fall from Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) 14 market-leading brands.

DoubleTree by Hilton is bringing its globally recognized signature, warm DoubleTree Cookie welcome to two new destinations: Utica, New York and Harrisonburg, Virginia. With each hotel touting easy access to major colleges and universities - as well as numerous outdoor activities, shopping and dining destinations - both communities provide charming backdrops for a memorable trip.

A Warm and Contemporary Oasis

*Newly debuted in July 2017, DoubleTree by Hilton Harrisonburg boasts contemporary décor designed to combine the natural textures and tones of its beautiful surroundings.

Located in the heart of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley with easy access to James Madison University, Eastern Mennonite University and Bridgewater College, the hotel is minutes from a variety of leisure activities that include:

Vintage, Old World Charm Meets Modern

*DoubleTree by Hilton Utica, which recently received a multimillion-dollar renovation, has design features that keep today’s modern traveler in mind while staying true to its vintage roots dating back to 1912.
