Conveniently located in downtown Regina, just six kilometers from Regina International Airport, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Conference Centre Regina welcomes guests with a fresh new look that pulls from the city’s beautiful rustic aesthetic juxtaposed with modern, industrial design touches that can be seen throughout the warm and inviting lobby, guest rooms and food and beverage areas. A dramatic 18,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art conference centre is designed to accommodate varying event needs with 11 technologically-advanced and ergonomically-designed conference rooms and a ballroom to accommodate 400 guests.
“As the city and provincial capital continues its growth in the telecommunications, agriculture, oil and natural gas industries, Regina has seen a heightened need for first-rate accommodations and conference facilities,” said Steve Giblin, president and chief executive officer, SilverBirch Hotels & Resorts. “We look forward to meeting this growing demand with our tremendous hotel and meeting offerings, as well as a staff eager to provide the highest level of service to accommodate our guests’ every need.”
The hotel also debuts Wild Sage Kitchen & Bar, a new, full-service restaurant that celebrates farm-to-table dining with a menu inspired by fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create memorable meals using the regional flavors of Saskatchewan. For a more casual dining experience, the hotel offers a laid back lounge and bar and in-room dining service. As part of the SilverBirch Conference Centre® experience, meeting attendees will also enjoy the Connections Café® offering free Wi-Fi, espresso machines and an incredible assortment of indulgences including smoothie shots, fresh fruit and vegetables, pastries and healthy treats.

“We look forward to welcoming guests with our industry-recognized service culture built around the idea of CARE, which stands for Create a Rewarding Experience for guests, team members and the community,” said Greenleaf. “CARE is demonstrated from the moment a guest checks in and receives the brand’s warm, chocolate chip cookie welcome and continues through every aspect of the guest’s stay with us.”
