The Providence Biltmore has joined Curio – A Collection by Hilton. Set in downtown Providence, Rhode Island, the historic hotel was built in 1922 by Warren and Wetmore, the same architects behind New York’s Grand Central Station.
“Historically significant, locally revered, and a leader in authentic hospitality, the Providence Biltmore exemplifies the core values behind our Curio collection,” says Dianna Vaughan, global head of Curio. “Without sacrificing the hotel’s independent approach that has proved successful for nearly a century, Curio will enhance the Providence Biltmore experience for both the hotel owners and guests.”
A member of the Historic Hotels of America program under the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Providence Biltmore is the most architecturally significant hotel in Providence. The hotel offers 294 guestrooms and suites, all with cityscape views provided by the building’s V-shaped design. Recently renovated by Sudbury, Massachusetts-based Parker-Torres Design, rooms boast sophisticated design and modern amenities that maintain the elegance of the Biltmore. The final stage of the hotel’s $13 million renovation plan will take place in early 2015 with updates to the three-story atrium lobby and function rooms.
