Hilton Daytona Beach/Ocean Walk Village Completes $20 Million Transformation.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Hilton Daytona Beach/Ocean Walk Village -- formerly Adam's Mark -- reopens Feb. 1, 2005 after completing the $20 million refurbishment to upgrade the 742-room beachfront property. Located on Daytona Beach's only traffic-free beach, Hilton's newest oceanfront property offers guest renovated accommodations while utilizing the Hilton HHonors(R) frequent guest program. Part of Ocean Walk Village -- a $400 million vacation and entertainment district -- the Hilton sits directly across from the Ocean Center and is connected to the Ocean Walk Shoppes.

The dramatic renovation of the property makes the beach setting an intrinsic part of the hotel. The lobby is reconfigured to give guests a breathtaking view of the ocean while the current restaurant is relocated to the hotel's beach side providing year-round indoor/outdoor dining. Renovations include complete refurbishment of all guest rooms in the North and South Towers with new bathrooms, furniture, beds, carpeting and wall coverings. Both conservative and classy with a modern spin, some rooms are furnished with dark wood, plush furniture and a mix of mellow gold, greens and reds, while others are endowed with a summer home style of distinct blue, yellow and light green shades. Lush landscaping was also added to showcase the building, beachfront and create a greater sense of arrival while maintaining traditional Floridian style.

With 60,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space, the Hilton Daytona Beach/Ocean Walk Village is the largest meetings and convention hotel in the area. Located across from Ocean Center -- which will triple in size to 200,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space by 2007 -- the combined facilities support groups of more than 20,000 delegates. Offering a complete audio-visual support department, a fully equipped business center, high-speed Internet access to all guests and dedicated service management for each function, the hotel satisfies the most sophisticated meeting requirements.
