Hilton Washington Restores Original Name

As part of its $140 million restoration, the Hilton Washington is restoring its name, as it is currently known, to Washington Hilton, as it was originally christened in 1965. In 1998, the hotel became known as Hilton Washington as part of a global Hilton branding initiative. The name restoration signals a return to tradition, as the hotel is set to complete a $140 million landmark restoration of the property in June. Washington Hilton has also been listed as a place of significance within the Washington Heights neighborhood on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel's 45th anniversary is being celebrated as Washington Hilton puts the finishing touches on its most significant transformation to date -- a $140 million landmark restoration scheduled for completion this June. The transformation of the 1,070-room property includes a makeover of all guestrooms, public areas, lobby, health club, restaurants, meeting rooms and function space, including the iconic International Ballroom. The efforts will highlight the hotel's historic modern style and existing features and amenities, while introducing fresh and timeless décor. For more information, visit www.washington.hilton.com.
