PROVIDENCE, RI – Exciting news for travelers and locals alike! Providence’s only waterfront hotel, formerly known as the Wyndham Garden Providence, is undergoing a significant transformation and will soon be unveiled as the Hilton Garden Inn Providence. This highly anticipated rebranding, spearheaded by premier hospitality management company TPG Hotels & Resorts, is set to elevate the guest experience and further enhance the appeal of this unique India Street location. Slated to officially fly the Hilton Garden Inn flag in July 2016, the hotel is currently undergoing a stylish interior refresh that aligns with the renowned Hilton Garden Inn brand standards, drawing inspiration from its stunning waterfront setting and the area’s rich nautical heritage.
Prime Waterfront Location Meets Modern Comfort on Providence’s India Street
The Hilton Garden Inn Providence boasts an unparalleled location directly across from the scenic India Point Park on the East Side of Providence, making it a true waterfront gem. Its convenient proximity to I-195 provides easy access for travelers, while its position offers breathtaking views and immediate access to outdoor recreation. The hotel’s redesign is deeply inspired by the captivating history of 19th-century international trade that thrived at India Point. Once a bustling hub of maritime commerce, India Point is now a beautifully landscaped park, creating a unique blend of historical significance and modern leisure right at the hotel’s doorstep. Guests will find themselves perfectly situated to explore not only the natural beauty of the waterfront but also the vibrant energy of Providence.
Interior updates to guest rooms and public spaces are well underway and expected to be completed in May, promising a fresh and contemporary ambiance. The full rebranding to Hilton Garden Inn Providence will be finalized by July 1st, with the hotel remaining open and welcoming guests throughout this exciting transition. The reimagined Hilton Garden Inn Providence is poised to offer an enhanced look and feel that perfectly complements its desirable East Side location. Guests will appreciate the hotel’s close proximity to historic Benefit Street, the prestigious College Hill, Brown University, and the renowned Rhode Island School of Design, making it an ideal base for exploring the cultural heart of Providence.
Experience Enhanced Amenities and Design at Hilton Garden Inn Providence
“We are genuinely excited to become part of the Hilton Garden Inn family,” stated Michael Canini, the newly appointed General Manager of the Hilton Garden Inn Providence, who is expertly guiding the brand transition. “We are confident that our guests will truly value the enhanced amenities and thoughtful design that are hallmarks of this exceptional brand. Our team is enthusiastic and dedicated to providing an unmatched level of customer service, highlighting the distinctive offerings of the Hilton Garden Inn Providence and celebrating our exceptional waterfront location near India Street and Downtown Providence. Furthermore, our local ownership is deeply committed to the hotel’s vital role in revitalizing the India Point Park area, generating valuable employment opportunities, and contributing to the economic growth of Rhode Island.”
The Hilton Garden Inn Providence will introduce several brand-new features, including a unique Media Room, designed as a playful and engaging space for alternative recreation. This innovative space, adorned with the Hilton Garden Inn brand’s signature nature-inspired décor, will encourage social interaction with comfortable seating, a large high-definition television, and a state-of-the-art gaming system.
Guests will also be delighted by the addition of a new outdoor patio area. This inviting space will allow guests to unwind with appetizers and drinks while soaking in the spectacular sunsets over Providence Harbor and India Point Park. Inside, a full-service bar will become a central focal point, creating a vibrant gathering atmosphere. Maritime-inspired coastal wood side tables will add a touch of nautical charm to the hotel’s signature Firepit seating area – a Hilton Garden Inn classic featuring a distinctive cocktail table and a striking pendant fixture that subtly evokes the warmth of a fire.
The Hilton Garden Inn Providence is committed to promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Guests will have access to state-of-the-art fitness equipment and health-conscious dining options. The hotel’s refreshed Garden Grille restaurant will offer both breakfast and dinner, featuring an “interactive” chef preparing customized, made-to-order eggs during breakfast service. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a complimentary “Welcome Bar” – a delicious and wholesome treat crafted with a blend of dried fruit, white chocolate morsels, and oatmeal.
