DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New Orleans has appointed Frank Cook as its new general manager.
Bringing more than 30 years of leadership in the hospitality industry, Cook joins the New Orleans team after serving as vice president of operations for Hospitality America, where he oversaw 19 Hilton and Marriott-branded properties.
As he steps into this role, Cook will oversee a $5 million renovation at DoubleTree, set to be completed by 2026. Guests can look forward to refreshed spaces, including the lobby, 367 guest rooms, restaurant, pool, ballrooms and meeting areas.
“Delivering the very best to our guests is my top priority,” said Cook. “It’s an honor to step into this new role in a city with such a rich culture. I am eager to work alongside the DoubleTree Team to bring more guests to our vibrant hotel.”
“The recent upgrades to our rooms, lobby, ballroom and meeting venues showcase our commitment to creating beautiful, functional spaces that match the energy of our city,” said Kenneth Shore, senior regional director of operations for Dimension Hospitality, which operates the hotel and is spearheading the renovation. “Together with Dimension Hospitality’s support and Frank’s leadership, we’re confident in our ability to build on our strong reputation and elevate our guest experience in every corner of the property.”
Situated at the gateway to the French Quarter, DoubleTree New Orleans is near the Central Business District, Canal Street Shopping, the Riverwalk Outlets and Caesar’s Casino, as well as the Mississippi River.
