Schaumburg, IL, April 7, 2008 – Hostmark Hospitality Group welcomes a new addition to its portfolio with the opening of the Doubletree Hotel Princeton. Equidistant from New York, Newark and Philadelphia in central New Jersey, this 238-room, full-service hotel is just six miles from world-renowned Princeton University and minutes from numerous Fortune 500 companies. Formerly a Radisson hotel, this conversion is part of a $12 million renovation project that has reinvigorated guest rooms, meeting space, dining facilities and much more.
The Doubletree Hotel Princeton is owned by Shamrock-Hostmark, LP and operated by Hostmark Hospitality Group under a franchise license agreement with a subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation.
“We are very excited to welcome the world’s travelers to the newly renovated Doubletree Hotel Princeton. From Cambridge in Massachusetts to Berkeley in California, Doubletree is proud to continue expanding its upscale, full-service hotel offerings adjacent to some of the country’s most distinguished universities,” said Dave Horton, senior vice president – brand management for Doubletree Hotels.

Contemporary comforts include complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access; MP3-compatible, stereo clock radios; Wolfgang Puck® gourmet, in-room coffee service; Neutrogena® bath and body products; and the brand’s signature Sweet Dreams® by Doubletree sleep experience with plush pillows, a luxurious linen package and a specially designed plush-top mattress and box spring system that helps ensure a great night’s sleep. Guest bathrooms have been dramatically redesigned to include upgraded lighting, new vanities with granite counters, framed mirrors and a curved shower rod that allows for 20% more space in the shower.
Business travelers can enjoy large workspaces with outlets at desk height; ergonomic desk chairs; and virtual in-room printing services in every guestroom.
