Property Acquisition
Alfred Weissman Real Estate acquired this property in December 2010, formerly the Riverwalk Hotel and Conference Center, the property experienced significant damage caused by Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. Following the completion of a two year, multi-million dollar renovation, the property has transformed into an upscale, full-service hotel owned by Alfred Weissman Real Estate and operated by Marshall Hotels & Resorts.
The acquisition of the Doubletree was accompanied by a complete renovation including all new mechanical systems, gut-renovations of all 204 rooms, a renovation of the conference center, major parking deck structural repairs, façade repairs, and a complete re-invention of the business plan. AWRE was able to renovate the hotel and earn the Doubletree flag from Hilton, and further achieved the rank as the 12th highest performing Doubletree in 2017.
AWRE also created a new membership gym in formally vacant space that boasts over 1,800 paying members.
Located near the confluence of the Chenango and Susquehanna Rivers, this 204 guest room hotel was renovated and reintroduced as Binghamton Riverwalk Hotel and Conference Center and finally, DoubleTree by Hilton.
