Launch Party for DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln is a Huge Success
LINCOLN, UK – 2nd July 2012 – The official opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln on Brayford Wharf North has been hailed a success by the team responsible for putting the world-renowned hotel brand on the city map.
Around 180 guests, including the Deputy Mayor and Deputy Mayoress, Councillor Patrick Vaughan and Ms Lorna Stow, attended the official launch party on Friday (22nd June).
The black tie event saw guests welcomed with a glass of bubbles and canapés before tucking into a sumptuous four-course meal.
DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln’s General Manager Philip Walker said the celebration could not have gone better.
“We wanted to create an event that could really wow our guests and show off what DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln can offer the city,” he said.
“We’re Lincoln’s first up-scale, full-service hotel, so we needed something with a touch of class as well as great fun for everyone involved. I think we’ve been successful in showing the quality food, drinks, entertainment and service we can offer.
“It was also our way of thanking all those people who helped us bring the five-year project to fruition.”
As well as civic dignitaries, leading businessmen and women and other movers and shakers from around the county were invited to the event where they had their photos snapped by awaiting paparazzi.
A harpist and pianist Adam Pond played to guests during the welcome reception, and seven-piece band Beat Street International then wowed crowds after dinner with a collection of hits ranging from Maroon 5 to Kings of Leon.
When the hotel was completed in December 2011 it was the first purpose-built DoubleTree by Hilton in the UK and has 115 bedrooms, a scenic rooftop bar and contemporary restaurant and 750m² of meetings and events space including a ballroom with a capacity of up to 300 guests, theatre style.
