The current Fresno Doubletree started life as a Holiday Inn in the early 80s. The 9 story atrium was part of an upscale look for hosting groups due to the adjacent city owned convention center complex. The property operated as a Radisson starting about 2000 until the Doubletree rebranding 2 years ago.
There was another downtown Fresno hotel that operated for a while as a Doubletree a decade or two back. By coincidence that building had originally been built as a Hilton.
