PITTSBURGH -- Doubletree(R) Hotels (NYSE:HLT) proudly announces the opening of the Doubletree Hotel Pittsburgh Airport, representing the newest airport hotel addition to join the brand's portfolio of more than 150 fine properties across North America. More than a year has been spent on transforming the former Ramada(R) Inn into the airport corridor's newest full-service conference center hotel. Situated less than 10 minutes from the terminals of Pittsburgh International Airport and 25 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, this 135-room hotel provides convenient access to such attractions as PNC Park(R), Heinz Field(R), Mellon Arena(R), Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh and much more.

"Our development team has worked diligently to return the Doubletree experience to the Greater Pittsburgh area. We are particularly proud to now offer visitors and residents with both a downtown and an airport Doubletree hotel in less than six months," said Dave Horton, senior vice president - brand management for Doubletree Hotels. "The newly reinvigorated Doubletree presence in Pittsburgh underscores the momentum and interest in the brand from hotel owners, developers and management companies across the country and we are excited to continue our rapid growth in key cities and getaway destinations throughout North America."

The Doubletree Hotel Pittsburgh Airport is owned by Millcraft Industries Inc. / Moon Township Hotel & Conference Center, LP, operated under a franchise agreement with Doubletree Hotel Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation and managed by Gateway Hospitality.

"The Doubletree Hotel Pittsburgh Airport and our second Jacksons Restaurant-Rotisserie-Bar are sure to become a welcome cornerstone to the Airport and Moon Township communities," said Jack Piatt III, chairman of Millcraft Industries, Inc. "I have been excited about so many of our business ventures lately, including our relationship with the Hilton Family of Hotels. Our Hilton Garden Inn in the Southpointe area of Pittsburgh has been a wonderful success for us, and I am certain this new Doubletree Hotel addition will play a key role in the continued development of what I view to be an outstanding community."

A fresh, contemporary guest experience awaits guests at the Doubletree Hotel Pittsburgh Airport, including stylishly appointed guest rooms with complimentary high-speed wired and wireless Internet access; 27" high-definition, flat-screen televisions and residential style furnishings. The hotel also is proud to present the Sweet Dreams(R) by Doubletree Sleep Experience in every guestroom -- which includes a plentiful amount of pillows, a luxurious linen package of a down-filled duvet wrapped in triple sheeting and a specially designed plush-top mattress and box spring system that ensures a great night's sleep.
