The DoubleTree by Hilton in downtown South Bend is set for a $9.2 million renovation, pending approval of a nine-year tax abatement by the city’s Common Council. The upgrades will include improvements to guest rooms, restrooms, meeting rooms, and more. The project aims to retain 110 jobs and potentially add more in the future, while also enhancing the hotel’s appeal for visitors and conventions. The renovation is scheduled to begin in February and be completed by August, with a focus on maintaining service during the process. The DoubleTree, a key downtown landmark, plays a significant role in the city’s efforts to attract visitors and boost economic activity in the area.
