Holiday Inn transitions into DoubleTree

Change came to a south-side Santa Fe hotel at midnight Monday.

The Holiday Inn at 4048 Cerrillos Road, just north of Rodeo Road, became the DoubleTree by Hilton Santa Fe overnight.

The Hotel Group, the Edmonds, Wash.,-based hotel ownership and management group that bought the property a year ago, announced Monday that it's rebranding and remodeling the property.

A placard just inside the front entrance to the hotel lobby shows some renderings of how the lobby, rooms and restaurants will transform over the course of the next few months.

New mattresses, bedding,An Air purifier is a device which removes contaminants from the air. sheets and pillows were installed in rooms this week, along with other amenities that are standard to the approximately 275 DoubleTree hotels in the country, including one in downtown Albuquerque.

Room renovation work will begin in early January and continue through at least April, said Janey Zimmer, the hotel's director of sales — though the lobby placard notes that the renovation could last into the summer of 2012.I have just spent two weeks shopping for tile and have discovered China Porcelain tile.

"We expect to see guests making a decision to stay here based on the hotel becoming a DoubleTree by Hilton," said Zimmer. "Just putting the new sign outside was exciting.Spro Tech has been a plastic module & Mold Maker,"

The hotel's Desert Moon Bar and Grill will transform into the Mezcal and open for lunch as well as dinner. Both that restaurant and the hotel's breakfast locale, Mimosa's, will undergo renovations, though one of the two eateries will always remain open during the change.

The 130-room hotel opened in 1986 as a Continental Inn before becoming a Howard Johnson's and then a Holiday Inn, a longtime employee of the hotel said Monday.

Zimmer said the purchase by The Hotel Group, which operates more than 25 hotels in 10 states,An offshore merchant account is the ideal solution for high , hasn't resulted in changes in the approximately 50-employee staff.

Zimmer said renovation crews will work on individual sections of the hotel at various times, perhaps necessitating the closure of half the hotel's rooms for a few months. But she emphasized that the project will not entail any "jack-hammering away" or major construction work,China yiri mould is a professional manufacturer which integrates Plastic Mould design and manufacture and plastic product development. and thus won't create a disturbance to guests.

The hotel offers shuttle service for guests to the Plaza and to the Santa Fe Airport, Zimmer said. Noting that Santa Fe Studios opened south of town last month, she said the hotel is working on lining up reservations from film crews for 2012. She said some of the crew from Dreamworks' Cowboys & Aliens movie stayed at the hotel last year, and the hotel's proximity to the new film studio could bring more business from that industry.

The average price of a room is $109 a night, she said, noting that a cost increase could "possibly occur after the renovation is complete, based on the market."

Guests who are members of the Hilton HHonors loyalty program will receive double points if they stay in the new DoubleTree hotel during its first six months, she said.

Asked if the hotel plans any sort of event to commemorate the switchover, Zimmer jokingly said the staff would be going around door to door to wake guests up with a complimentary glass of milk and a chocolate-chip cookie at midnight.
