Restoring History

Recent Renovations

The Seelbach Hilton is currently undergoing a $12 million renovation to maintain the elegance of the world-class hotel, while equipping it with the modern necessities for the new generation.

The updates in the guestrooms include new furniture, lighting, carpet, wall treatments, and 37-inch high-definition televisions.

The fitness center has nearly doubled in size and all of the work stations have been replaced with state-of-the-art equipment by Precor.

In the Lobby, the original skylight, which has been covered for the last 50 years, will be restored and "Vegas Style" lighting added to replicate the designed appearance when the hotel originally opened in 1905.

Be a part of history, from 1905 to today.
