BCU President & CEO Joe Sobieralski is excited for this announcement. “It is tremendously important that we have a large international hotel brand in downtown Battle Creek,” stated Sobieralski. “Converting it to a Hilton property is a proud moment for our community as we continue to work to build a brighter future for downtown Battle Creek.”
FRA Investors/NDF Battle Creek, LLC, an affiliate of Chicago based Aries Capital, LLC, became the sole owner of the McCamly Hotel in 2017. Aries affiliated companies have a significant portfolio of hotel properties across the country. According to Neil Freeman, Chairman of Aries Capital, “We are excited to bring the quality of Hilton and Doubletree to downtown Battle Creek. The new restaurant, bar, pool, fitness center and lobby will become the place to be in Battle Creek. We believe adding the urban style apartments to the hotel will bring 24 hour life to downtown.”
Since its opening in the fall of 1981, The McCamly Plaza has gone through several ownership and name changes, but it has always remained a staple in Battle Creek. Battle Creek Unlimited is proud to play a role in continuing that heritage.
