April 28, 2008 - The Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel & Executive Meeting Center, formerly The Doubletree Hotel, celebrated its official opening and unveiled the completion of a multimillion dollar renovation at the hotel�s ribbon cutting ceremony on April 23rd, 2008. The hotel is owned by The JBG companies and managed by the Pyramid Hotel Group.
 
Area Managing Director Michael D. Hirsch said, �We hope to make the hotel a gathering place for the community. With the indoor park-like setting of the atrium, people can come to just relax or to get some work done while enjoying our free wireless internet access.� 
The expansive open lobby and atrium inspires a refreshing, outdoorsy experience with large trees, lined by a jazz themed bar and a chophouse restaurant.

Committed to supporting the community, the hotel will sponsor Rockville�s annual �Pike�s Peek� 10K run, which benefits several charities including the Parkinson�s Foundation. On race day, April 27th, runners will speed down Rockville Pike, passing the newly renovated Hilton. The hotel presented a $2,500 check at its ribbon cutting to support the race�s beneficiaries, which was matched by Pyramid Hotel Group, bringing the grand total to $5,000.

Serving fresh innovative regional Maryland cuisine, the Twinbrook Grille serves as a casually elegant dinner experience for hotel patrons, as well as a destination spot for area residents. The restaurant also serves seasonal lunch specials and the renowned Hilton Breakfast, a bountiful buffet which boasts over 100 items or a-la carte menu. 

Guests and local commuters alike are invited in to pick up their morning Starbucks coffee in the Atrium on the way to catch the metro and stop back in to wind down with a drink while enjoying jazz music at Riffs Lounge after work. 

The hotel is certified by the International Association of Conference Centers, and  provides premier comforts and services - 24 hours a day. A wealth of productive features distinguishes the Executive Meeting Center - from state-of-the-art meeting space to highly professional support staff.
