The DoubleTree by Hilton Port Huron hotel completed more than $2 million in renovations over the past year. General Manager Amber Graham says the 149-room waterfront hotel had been due for an update for a while, but plans were delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, all guest rooms have been refreshed with new carpet, desks, chairs, curtains, and updated lighting. Meeting spaces have also gotten a new look with fresh wallpaper, carpet, window treatments, artwork, and chairs. The hotel’s on-site Freighters restaurant received new chairs, tables, wraps on wood beams, carpet, wallpaper, outdoor seating, and menu.
“While a lot of the items were in good condition, it is nice having a more modern look,” Graham says, adding that a blue and gray color scheme seen throughout the updated decor “plays into the nautical theme, seeing as we are right on the
St. Clair River.”
The hotel has one large meeting space that can hold 175 people, along with three smaller breakout spaces. It’s attached to and coordinates meeting planning with the Blue Water Convention Center.
