Hilton Aberdeen Treetops has announced it will undergo a £425,000 refurbishment programme, expected to be completed by autumn 2012. The hotel will remain in operation throughout the works.Hilton Aberdeen Treetops located on Springfield Road will receive a complete overhaul of its bedroom corridors. 30 bedrooms including eight of the property’s deluxe plus business bedrooms will be upgraded and refurbished. The hotel business centre will also be refurbished to create a brand new lounge area with 24 hour beverages available. The hotel is also spending £75,000 upgrading kitchen and catering equipment.

Stewart Lorimer, area general manager for North of Scotland, said, “This is just the latest in an ongoing programme of upgrades we have undergone at the hotel to ensure we remain a key player in attracting both business and leisure visitors to the city. Aberdeen’s hospitality sector continues to play a vital role in the economy of the city and we’re delighted to continually improve our proposition for busy business and leisure guests.”

Seven of the hotel’s meeting rooms will be refurbished giving a new dynamic look to these areas which are a popular choice for meetings and conferences in the city.

The refurbishment follows a £400K programme of work last year which included a revamp of lobby lounge areas, reception space, restaurant and ballroom. The renovation is part of a larger scope of major projects by individual hotels above standard annual capital expenditures across the global portfolio of Hilton Hotels & Resorts, the flagship brand of Hilton Worldwide. Beginning in 2011, the projects currently total more than $3 billion during a three year period.

Hilton Aberdeen Treetops is situated just 10 minutes from the city centre and only 20 minutes from Aberdeen Airport. The 120 room hotel hosts nine meeting rooms with capacity for two to 1,000 people. Delegates can relax by taking advantage of the hotel’s LivingWell Health Club with indoor heated pool, sauna, gym and beauty spa. Guests can enjoy a delicious meal in the revitalised Springfield’s Restaurant or watch live sports on the 6ft screen in high definition in the hotel’s relaxing Springfield’s Bar area.
