Hilton has debuted its Canopy by Hilton brand in South Dakota with the opening of Canopy by Hilton Sioux Falls Downtown. The hotel builds the brand’s over 40 properties across the world and also marks Hilton’s first lifestyle hotel in Sioux Falls.
Offering a riverfront location along Big Sioux River in the Steel District, an emerging cultural hub in downtown Sioux Falls, the property features 216 rooms and suites, two culinary outlets, a fitness center and nearly 20,000 square feet of event space.
“The opening of Canopy by Hilton Sioux Falls Downtown represents an important milestone as our first for the brand in South Dakota and builds upon our expanding presence in the Midwest,” said Danny Hughes, president, Americas, Hilton. “Coupled with our signature Hilton hospitality, the hotel is situated in an incredible location and features dynamic design, beautiful local art and thoughtfully curated amenities that will ensure a memorable stay for our guests.”
Canopy Sioux Falls Downtown is located within downtown Sioux Falls and Falls Park, an 123-acre park in the center of the city and sits next to Levitt Outdoor Amphitheater and within close proximity to museums, art galleries, restaurants and Sioux Falls Regional Airport.
“Sioux Falls embodies a mix of history, culture and adventure paired with the city’s warm and hospitable Midwest charm. Coupled with the spirit of the destination and the brand’s commitment to immersing guests in the locale, this hotel offers an ideal home base for guests looking to explore the best of the neighborhood and city all with the natural beauty of Falls Park right at their doorstep,” said Jenna Hackett, senior vice president and global leader, Hilton lifestyle brand management.
Offering views of Sioux Falls throughout the property, the hotel’s interiors have been designed by Box Interior Design. In the lobby, a baby grand piano honors the region’s artistic flair and memories of hotel owner, Craig Lloyd of Lloyd Companies. Much of the artwork is locally sourced, including a mural by local native American artist, Holly Young, and several interactive pieces.
The hotel pays homage to Sioux Steel, the location where Canopy Sioux Falls Downtown now sits. In king rooms, yellow barrel drums serving as nightstands representing Sioux Steel’s signature color. In-room artwork is framed with the original ledger from Sioux Steel, while photos of Sioux Steel can be seen throughout the property.
The restaurant at the hotel offers a neighborhood-inspired Italian cuisine, in an ambiance that pays homage to Italy while capturing the essence of the iconic Steel District. The hotel also has a coffee bar, which offers specialty coffees and seasonal treats.
