Project Overview
Located in Lexington, Kentucky, DoubleTree by Hilton Lexington serves business and leisure travelers with a full-service hospitality experience in the heart of the Bluegrass region. Through a comprehensive Property Improvement Plan (PIP) renovation, the property received updates to key guest-facing areas, including public spaces, guestrooms, bathrooms, and corridors.
The renovation enhanced the overall guest experience while aligning the property with current brand standards and supporting its long-term performance in the market.

The renovation focused on modernizing key areas of the hotel while maintaining alignment with brand expectations and ownership goals.

With improvements spanning multiple areas of the hotel, the project required detailed scheduling, clear communication, and strategic planning to keep the renovation moving efficiently.
