The President Abraham Lincoln Hotel, a DoubleTree by Hilton is a downtown hotel, at 701 East Adams Street in the state capital of Springfield, (Sangamon County), llinois.
It is the only hotel connected to the nearby Bank of Springfield Convention Center, via a tunnel. Because of this, it was able to be financed through loans backed by the State of Illinois. That fact would later be important when the loans were defaulted.
When the hotel opened in 1985, it was known as the Ramada Renaissance, then changed names two decades later to the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel & Conference Center in 2005. It became part of the DoubleTree by Hilton franchise chain eight years later in 2013.
