President Abraham Lincoln Hotel

Historic hotel
In Springfield, Illinois
0.1 mi from Route 66

The President Abraham Lincoln Hotel is a DoubleTree by Hilton in Springfield, IL, about 0.6 mile off the old road. Opened in 1985 as the Ramada Renaissance, it took its current name in 2005 and joined the DoubleTree chain in 2013. It is the only hotel tied to the Bank of Springfield Convention Center by a tunnel, and it sits within about 0.1 mile of several Lincoln sites.

What is President Abraham Lincoln Hotel?

This is a modern downtown hotel rather than a vintage motor court, and its value to a Route 66 traveler is location. Parking is available on site. The tunnel link to the convention center is its most unusual feature, and it had a financial side effect too: because of that connection, the hotel could be financed with loans guaranteed by Illinois.

History of President Abraham Lincoln Hotel

The hotel opened in 1985 as the Ramada Renaissance. About two decades later, in 2005, it became the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel and Conference Center, and in 2013 it joined the DoubleTree by Hilton franchise. The state-backed loans that paid for it later went into default, which gave that guarantee real weight.

Visiting President Abraham Lincoln Hotel: tips

The Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site, the Old State Capitol State Historic Site and the Fisher Building-Latham Block are all about 0.1 mile away, so staying here puts much of historic Springfield within walking distance.
