Architectural rendering of the planned $20 million DoubleTree by Hilton renovation of the Clarion Resort by the Lake hotel.
The Clarion Resort on the Lake hotel on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs will close in January for a $20 million renovation that will turn it into a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel.
Rejesh Mehta, owner of Mehta Hospitality, said in a news release that the renovation will include updating all plumbing and electrical systems and implementing a new “high-tech Millennial experience” with digital keys for room access and the ability to control all other room features via mobile device.
The hotel is set to reopen in late 2019 as the sixth hotel in Mehta Hospitality’s portfolio, which includes other hotels in central Arkansas and Texas. Two other hotels are also in the works.
“While belonging to the Hilton hotel family comes with a high level of expected excellency, Mehta Hospitality plans to surpass even the expectations of Hilton with the DoubleTree of Hot Springs,” Mehta said in the release.
On its exterior, the renovated hotel will features a reworked boat dock, beach lake front and pool area along with cabanas, terraces and seating area with a fire pit. Inside, there will be a new restaurant and bar, 142 modern guest rooms, a fitness center and reconfigured meeting space.
