We’re hopeful it will be worth the wait. According to the News-Gazette, the developers of Hotel Royer in Downtown Urbana, the much-anticipated Hilton-brand hotel renovating the historic Lincoln Hotel, is hopeful to open its doors in just a few months.
According Haaris Pervaiz, partner with the developer Icon Hospitality:
“It’s been a long project for us, longer than originally anticipated, so we are as eager as possible to get this hotel open, ready to serve the public as soon as possible, and ideally before the start of the new school year,” he said.
…
“Renovating a historic hotel that’s a 100-year-old building and preserving that culture, preserving that richness of the property is something that takes a lot of time, takes a lot of attention,” Pervaiz said. “And we have worked diligently to keep that heritage of the property and to make sure that this is the premier hotel in central Illinois.”
