Frommer's Review

The Doubletree, though thoroughly urban, has beautifully landscaped terraces front and back that act as buffers between the hotel and the city. The flow of the public spaces leading back to the garden courtyard accentuate the hotel's theme of "bringing the outdoors in." This theme resonates in the guest rooms, where windows larger than the hotel norm deliver lots of natural light. Ask for a room at the front of the hotel for a view of Scott Circle, the park across the street, and the city; request a room at the back for a view of the garden terrace. A complete renovation of guest rooms will have replaced paint, fabrics, wallpapers, and furnishings, and installed flatscreen plasma televisions by the end of 2008. Every guest room has a "Sweet Dreams by Hilton" pillow-top mattress and a large desk with ergonomic chair.

Facilities: Restaurant (contemporary American); bar; 24-hr. fitness center; 24-hr. concierge; 24-hr. business center (complimentary use of computers, copier, and fax services); room service (6:30am-midnight); same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; 10 rooms for those w/limited mobility, 2 w/roll-in showers.
