The award-winning Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront has completed a $13 million room renovation, pairing spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and award-winning dining offerings with 289 completely refreshed guest rooms and suites. The renovation comes as the hotel enters its second decade as the centerpiece of Virginia Beach’s nationally recognized boardwalk.
“We are committed to offering the best experience to our guests and this includes stylish, new rooms,” says Bruce Thompson, President and CEO of Gold Key | PHR Hotels & Resorts, which owns and manages Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront. “Attention to detail has been a hallmark of Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront since its opening in 2005, and it continues to show in this renovation.”
The complete renovation of all of the rooms took place in phases beginning in 2016 with the hotel’s Empyrean Club rooms. Located on the top three floors of the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront Hotel, the Empyrean Club is an exclusive “hotel within the hotel” and has 53 rooms, including two executive suites and the Empyrean Club lounge.
The final phase of the renovation was the hotel’s Superior guest rooms, which make up the majority of the hotel’s inventory. Work on those rooms began in 2017 and was completed during the first quarter of 2018.
In addition to the renovated guest rooms, Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront is home to two award-winning restaurants, Catch 31, and Salacia, Virginia’s only 4-Diamond steakhouse, and 13,000 square feet of flexible function space including an oceanfront ballroom. It also features the only rooftop infinity pool in Virginia Beach offering stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Virginia Beach coastline.
