The existing Oxford Abingdon Hotel will undergo a comprehensive redevelopment, increasing the number of guest rooms by over 100 percent through a new four-story extension. The 150-guest-room hotel is expected to open in summer 2018 when the extension, which will include a new lounge bar, restaurant, function rooms and fitness centre, is due for completion. The existing hotel will remain open throughout the extension works, and current bedrooms will be fully renovated when the new wing is complete.

The Oxford Abingdon Hotel’s conversion to Hilton Garden Inn is part of a wider plan to improve Coldunell’s current portfolio of hotels. Hilton Garden Inn Abingdon Oxford will be situated on Marcham Road, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14 1TZ.
Meanwhile, Davidson Hotels & Resorts has announced the addition of the 233-room Hilton Garden Inn Denver Union Station, projected to open in 2018. Located in the Union Station Neighborhood, connecting the Lower Downtown (LoDo) entertainment district to the Central Platte Valley, the Hilton Garden Inn will be steps away from Union Station; Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies; Denver’s Central Business District; and other attractions, including the 16th Street Mall, Larimer Square, Denver Art Museum, Pepsi Center and the Colorado Convention Center.
The Hilton Garden Inn at Denver Union Station will leverage the current trend of adaptive reuse of historic buildings, opening a one-of-a-kind restaurant concept in the repurposed Hose Company #1 fire station, one of the city’s oldest and most unique landmarks, adjoining the newly constructed hotel. The restaurant will not only lend an eclectic vibe to the hotel, but will become an iconic neighborhood dining venue. The hotel will also feature over 6,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, heated indoor pool, 24-hour fitness center and two levels of underground parking. The newly opened East Rail line operating between Union Station and DenverInternational Airport will allow guests of the Hilton Garden Inn to take advantage of a stress-free, 35-minute train ride to and from the hotel.
