A cocktail lounge, smokehouse restaurant, and 200-room hotel offer more than 23,000 square feet of meeting space. ABILENE, Texas- Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced the inauguration of the DoubleTree by Hilton Abilene Downtown Convention Centre, which is situated right next to the city’s convention centre and in the centre of the neighborhood’s revitalised cultural sector.

According to Danny Hughes, executive vice president and president, Americas, Hilton, “We’re thrilled to continue our growth in Abilene with our fifth property in the market – a place that holds a special place in our history. Texas is where Conrad Hilton opened our first hotel, and Abilene is one of the first markets where he sought to expand,” Danny Hughes continues, “With the addition of this incredible property, we look forward to strengthening our presence in the market and continuing to spread the light and warmth of hospitality that Conrad envisioned more than 100 years ago.”

Abilene, which is hailed as the Storybook Capital of America, is a city 150 miles west of Dallas in northern Taylor County. Inviting guests to turn a page of their favourite book with some of their childhood favourites, the location features the greatest public collection of sculptural fairytale characters. The hotel is surrounded by shops, eateries, pubs, libraries, and museums and is directly across from the city’s conference centre. The Adamson-Spaulding Storybook Garden, The Grace Museum, The Antique Station, Abilene Zoo, and the City Centre are all within four miles of the hotel.
