• DoubleTree by Hilton Neenah: This contemporary hotel, which recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation, overlooks the serene Fox River in Wisconsin and is located in the heart of downtown Neenah, steps away from the city's top restaurants, shopping and attractions.

• DoubleTree by Hilton Lafayette East: This newly opened hotel welcomes guests with its sleek and modern interiors, accented in black, gray and gold in honor of nearby Purdue University, located just minutes from the property.
