Historic Wisconsin Hotel Reborn as DoubleTree
EAU CLAIRE, Wisc. DoubleTree by Hilton reopened a historic Wisconsin hotel following a $21 million rebuild.
The Lismore Hotel Eau Claire – a DoubleTree by Hilton has restored its status as the only full-service hotel in the city’s bustling downtown area, offering 112 guest rooms and suites plus a multi-purpose convention center. It is owned by Pablo Properties and managed by Interstate Hotels & Resorts.
Featuring a uniquely inspired contemporary design, both inside and out, the eight-story hotel is located in the heart of downtown near the vibrant Farmers Market, just five miles from Chippewa Valley Regional Airport and 91 miles from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.
Its proximity to The Mayo Clinic, University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, Phoenix Park and other Chippewa Valley attractions makes it an ideal destination for business and leisure travelers.
“With its top-to-bottom transformation, The Lismore Hotel Eau Claire is poised to fill this thriving city’s need for a high-quality, full-service hotel and convention center,” said Dianna Vaughan, senior vice president and global head, DoubleTree by Hilton and Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “We look forward to welcoming guests with [a range of] first-class services and extensive amenities.”
The hotel’s name, as well as many of its new design features and artwork, have been inspired by its sister city of Lismore, Australia. For instance, wallpaper in the guest rooms consists of 12 different designs all made of clippings from Lismore newspapers. Other elements of the hotel’s modern industrial design feature custom artwork provided by local artists as well as textures and color schemes inspired by Eau Claire’s natural wonders, including its beautiful parks and rivers.
All guest rooms feature views of downtown Eau Claire, and top-floor suites offer skyline and river views.
Guests have a multitude of dining options without ever leaving the hotel, including a full-service restaurant, coffee shop and bar. The Informalist, a restaurant and lounge adjacent to the lobby, offers locally sourced, regional cuisine with international influences. ECDC - Eau Claire Downtown Coffee—serves organic signature blend coffee from Roastery 7 out of Minnesota, house-baked pastries and breads, delicious grab-and-go foods and freshly prepared juices. Meanwhile, Dive, provides a laid-back bar atmosphere set in a second-floor, modern and eclectic cocktail lounge with light fare.
For business meetings, wedding receptions and other special events, The Halls @ The Lismore conference center provides nearly 14,000 square feet of space, including a 7,200-square-foot ballroom that accommodates up to 620 guests. All meeting rooms have complimentary Wi-Fi and A/V access.
For smaller groups, the hotel offers the Meetings Simplified™ by DoubleTree by Hilton package, which includes a meeting room; basic meeting Wi-Fi; meeting room supplies including a flipchart, markers, extension and power cord; and all day non-alcoholic beverage service.
“Visitors to this beautiful region deserve a lodging choice that can fulfill every need, and our revitalized hotel and conference center offers everything a business or leisure guest would desire,” said Pete Bauchle, general manager, The Lismore Hotel Eau Claire – a DoubleTree by Hilton. “Our carefully-selected and highly-trained staffers are eager to deliver the award-winning culture of service for which the DoubleTree by Hilton brand is known around the world.”
