Located in the heart of downtown Providence, the historic hotel
was built in 1922 by Warren and Wetmore, the same architects behind
New York City’s Grand Central Station. The stately building opened
its doors with widespread acclaim and today is deeply woven into
the city’s fabric and culture, beloved by generations of
guests.
“Historically significant, locally revered and a leader in
authentic hospitality, the Providence Biltmore exemplifies the core
values behind our Curio collection,” said Dianna Vaughan, global
head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “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 through the assurance of the
Hilton name, and the benefits of our invaluable HHonors loyalty
program.”
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
iconic hotel offers 294 guestrooms and suites, all with cityscape
views provided by the building’s striking v-shaped design. Recently
renovated in 2014, rooms boast sophisticated design and modern
amenities that maintain the timeless 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, creating a fresh look while paying great
respect to the essence of the historic hotel.
“We look forward to bringing our legacy of gracious hospitality
and authentic character into a new era with the Curio Collection,”
said Todd Finard, CEO of Finard Properties, the hotel’s owner and
operator. “The Hilton name provides new reach and tools to
continue, and even elevate, the Biltmore’s long standing tradition
of excellence.”
Home to the city’s largest spa, the Biltmore boasts an eclectic
array of cross-cultural therapies including massage, facials, hair
styling and nail treatment at The Spa. Dining options include
McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood & Steaks as well as one of
the largest Starbucks in America.
Boasting an unrivalled 18,000 square feet of event space, the
Biltmore is capable of accommodating any size business or leisure
gathering. Each room is distinguished by cascades of natural light,
unmatched panoramic city views and world-class food and beverage
service. The legendary rooftop Grand Ballroom, the elegant Garden
Room that was once the setting of Big Band dancing in Providence
and 14 other meeting and banquet rooms, have been recognized among
the most-coveted destinations in the city for weddings, social and
business gatherings.
Existing reservations are intact at the Providence Biltmore, and
current and future guests may immediately begin using and redeeming
Hilton HHonors® points. Customers may book new reservations by

offer guests the benefits of Hilton HHonors®, the
award-winning guest-loyalty program serving more than 40 million

any other guest-loyalty program. Providence Biltmore participates
