Set off of I-95, adjacent to major corporate offices such as Subaru, Caterpillar and Alcoa, just min- utes from downtown Lafayette or Purdue University, the DoubleTree Lafayette East is one busy hotel. With 128 state-of-the-art guest- rooms, great dining, expansive meeting rooms and more, it’s also only one hour’s drive from Indianapolis Airport. It recently went through a major architectural design conversion, the results of which have added even more to its allure. “This was a really challenging project,” declared Gisa Ott, Vice President of Sales and Management of Indianapolis-based CCI LLC, who served as overall project manager relative to the major amount of tile installed at the DoubleTree. “Architectural designs cre- ated by SRA Architects of Milford, Ohio, were out- standing,” she added. “The interior design treatments by Adrian Caradine Contract Design of Memphis, Tenn., perfectly com- plemented every room throughout the hotel. We knew this was a very, very special endeavor. “There were so many different tile products specified; just about all of them came from Miles Distributors, our longtime supplier,” Ott said.
