The Hilton Burlington Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vt., plans to rebrand to Hotel Champlain and join the Curio Collection, part of the Hilton portfolio. Through the end of summer, the hotel will undergo exterior and interior renovations of key spaces within the hotel, including food-and-beverage outlets, event and gathering spaces and fitness areas. The property will remain open during the renovation.
“We are thrilled to finally announce our new name and plans for a whole new take on the lake,” Hotel Champlain GM Steven McClure said in a statement. “Rising across from the lakeshore, Hotel Champlain taps into the energy and excitement of our unique location. We’re excited to embark on our plans to create an unexpected but authentic hotel experience in the heart of downtown Burlington.”
Already underway, the upgrade plans call for renovating an expansive fitness center, restaurant and all-day café, and meeting and events spaces. Notably, the hotel is continuing its quest to decrease its environmental footprint by powering its meeting spaces with clean solar energy. Soon-to-be-announced partnerships and other design details like the timeline of the renovation, including new restaurants and amenities, will be announced in the coming months.
