The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Billings stands as a high-rise establishment located in Downtown Billings, Montana. With its height of , it ranks as the second tallest structure in the northern Rocky Mountains region. Between 1980 and 1985, it held the distinction of being Montana’s tallest hotel until the completion of the First Interstate Center. At the time of its construction, the Brick Institute of America recognized it as the tallest load-bearing brick building globally, although Guinness World Records attributes that recognition to Chicago's Monadnock Building.
History
Originally constructed in 1979 under the name Sheraton Billings Hotel, the property officially opened its doors in September 1980. It underwent a rebranding to Crowne Plaza Billings in 2006 before adopting the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Billings name in 2016.
A defining characteristic of the building is its masonry exterior, which consists of 2,372,982 red clay bricks fired in a kiln dating back to 1869. The hotel comprises 22 stories and features an upscale dining venue located on the twentieth floor. Sky bridges provide direct access to a nearby seven-level municipal parking structure and an adjacent historic edifice. The transition to Hilton’s DoubleTree brand in 2016 strategically positioned the hotel within Montana’s largest city market.
