Description: One of the area’s older hotels, the downtown Doubletree is popular for business travelers working with one of the many companies located in downtown Omaha. The Doubletree is on the north end of 16th Street and is a bit farther of a walk to the Old Market area, though definitely doable. The hotel is located across the street from both the First National Bank of Omaha and the Union Pacific Headquarters; the hotel’s “pay to park only once” means that business travelers can park in the hotel garage just once and walk to their destinations. The hotel’s lobby and many of its guest rooms were recently remodeled, lending a modern feel to the property. The hotel has an on-site swimming pool, fitness center, and Starbucks coffee shop. The 19th floor Executive Meeting Center provides 30,000 square feet of flexible meeting space popular for business conventions as well as special events. Signatures Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, though diners would be advised to check out some of the area’s unique local dining.
