YOUNGSTOWN — The Stambaugh Hotel Project got a boost today with an announcement that the Marshall Hotel Corp. will operate a DoubleTree Hotel at the site in June 2016.

That announcement was made by the NYO Property Group during a downtown development meeting hosted by Dominic J. Marchionda, managing member.

The project makes this "a very exciting time" for Youngstown, Marchionda said.

The current Stambaugh Building, 44 E. Federal St. will be converted to a 120-bed hotel that will include a restaurant and a banquet facility.

The DoubleTree Hotel brand is part of the Hilton Hotel chain.
