Portfolio Hotel & Resorts bought the DoubleTree in late March and Chief Operating Officer Graham Hershman flew in from Chicago for the luau. \u201cThis party is a way of assuring our clients and vendors that it will still be business as usual here at DoubleTree,\u201d Hershman said, adding that the DoubleTree will undergo a six-month remodeling in September to create a \u201cboutique hotel\u201d atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Guests were treated to a roasted pig, live music, and even a mermaid swimming in the pool. Wine tasting was provided by Fallbrook Winery and beer sampling by Karl Straus Beer. The event wrapped up with a drawing in which lucky attendees won trips to Portfolio Hotels in Chicago and Orlando, as well as select bottles of wine and spirits.<\/p>\n
