Raines and RREAF Holdings open the DoubleTree by Hilton Charleston Riverview in Charleston, S.C. This latest location marks Raines’ third DoubleTree property to join the portfolio this year, joining the Summerville and Greenville locations that opened in July in South Carolina.
DoubleTree by Hilton Charleston Riverview is a conversion property with 126 keys. It has standard DoubleTree amenities, as well as a fitness center, outdoor pool, firepits, and pet-friendly rooms. The on-site F&B options have been elevated to better meet guest expectations. The hotel restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, and there is grab-and-go lunch options from the property’s lobby market. In the evening, the hotel bar has crafted cocktails.
DoubleTree by Hilton Charleston Riverview is located two miles from Downtown Historic Charleston. Magnolia Plantation and Gardens and Charleston International Airport are less than 30 minutes away, with Folly Beach and Isle of Palms Beach also nearby for guests looking to soak up some sun.
“We are thrilled to welcome yet another fantastic Doubletree by Hilton property to our management portfolio," Grey Raines, managing partner of Raines, said in a statement. "Every hotel conversion is an opportunity to elevate,” “We’re also very excited to continue leverage Hilton’s powerful distribution platform to deliver the exceptional, guest-focused experiences that our hospitality partners and travelers expect. We greatly enjoy the opportunity to work with such a trusted and globally recognized brand.”
Raines oversaw DoubleTree by Hilton Charleston Riverview’s conversion, leveraging the company's experience to make the renovation process as seamless as possible.
“The conversion of this property to the DoubleTree by Hilton Charleston Riverview represents a strategic repositioning that enhances both the guest experience and the long-term value of the asset,” said Kip Sowden, CEO of RREAF Holdings. “We are excited to partner with Raines and Hilton to bring this iconic brand to one of the most sought-after vacation destinations. This transition allows us to leverage Hilton’s global platform while elevating amenities and services that meet the expectations of today’s travelers.”
