Recent Renovations at King of Prussia Hotels
Crowne Plaza Valley Forge, DoubleTree by Hilton & Holiday Inn Express
 | |
Renovated guest bathrooms at The Crowne Plaza.
|
There are more than 2,600 hotel rooms in King of Prussia for you to choose from when you come to visit, with a variety of amenities to offer. Recently the Crowne Plaza Valley Forge, the DoubleTree by Hilton and the Holiday Inn Express have completed renovations to make your stay even more enjoyable.
The Crowne Plaza completed full bathroom renovations on all hotel guestrooms that now feature large, stand-up shower stalls, enhanced lighting, beautiful tile and brand new fixtures. In addition, the hotel has installed one of the most sophisticated energy-management systems that provides guests with better service and has made the hotel more energy efficient.
The DoubleTree has been busy upgrading the hotel since the brand took over the space in February 2012. A new HSIA System has increased bandwidth for internet access, luxurious Sweet Dreams Bedding is now in every guest room, new equipment is available for use by all guests in the fitness center, and regionally inspired commissioned artwork graces the walls. Work on a new lobby design is scheduled to begin fall 2012.

The Holiday Inn Express renovated their entire hotel, updating the decor and amenities to make the space more modern and vibrant. Updated carpet, new bedding, granite countertops in the kitchens and new, comfortable furniture throughout the lobby and breakfast area have transformed the hotel to a modern and inviting hotel.

From the Executive Director
Last month we completed the second phase of the median landscape project along DeKalb Pike. In total, we planted 17,814 grasses, perennials, groundcovers, shrubs, bulbs and street trees along DeKalb Pike and First Avenue.
Read my latest blog post about the entire project and be sure to let us know about other commercial property locations where you would like to see additional landscape improvements in the future.
Sincerely,
Eric Goldstein, Executive Director
