The Poughkeepsie Grand has been synonymous with the City of Poughkeepsie and the MJN Center (Formerly Mid Hudson Civic Center) for as long back as I can remember. With the construction of the Mid Hudson Civic Center in the 1970s, the hotel was part of the general attempt at rehabilitation of the central district of the City of Poughkeepsie.

The former Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel, at 40 Civic Center Plaza, is adjacent on the same block as the Civic Center and was originally designed to be constructed simultaneously with the Civic Center and financed by Hilton. The hotel construction was then abandoned after the foundation was laid. Four years after the completion of the Mid-Hudson Civic Center, Radisson Hotels bought the hotel property and after a re-design of the original hotel plans, construction of the hotel resumed, eventually opening and becoming a popular downtown destination.

Hilton bought the former Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel in 2022 and it is now known as DoubleTree by Hilton Poughkeepsie. The hotel unveiled new beautifully renovated rooms in October of 2023 and renovations have been ongoing at the hotel.
