DoubleTree by Hilton Unveils 'Piebird' Newest Dining Concept

DoubleTree by Hilton has announced an original restaurant and bar concept,  piebird, which will begin to roll out to properties across the United States later this year.

Created, concepted, and designed by Hilton’s global, in-house consultancy, StiR Creative Collective, piebird is anchored in Americana nostalgia and will offer a contemporary take on American classics and specialty pies, capturing the warmth of a home-cooked meal for hotel guests and locals alike.   

The first piebird location is anticipated to open in fall 2025 at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Nanuet, in Nanuet, New York, with a second location at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Asheville – Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, in early 2026 – with additional locations to follow.

StiR Creative Collective, Hilton’s in-house food and beverage development arm, is reimagining hotel food and beverage for both affiliated partners and independent hospitality operations in the Americas as well as Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).

In the last two years, the collective has debuted several, leading-edge projects, including Leonessa, a sophisticated aperitivo rooftop bar at Conrad New York Downtown; Ayda, an eclectic, Mediterranean brasserie at Waldorf Astoria Cairo Heliopolis; 5 bespoke restaurant and bar concepts at Conrad Orlando (Ceiba, Sophia’s Trattoria, Papaya Club, Apero, Little Spoon); and several elevated dining experiences at Signia by Hilton Atlanta and Canopy by Hilton Toronto Yorkville. 

Concept Inspiration  

piebird takes its name from the ceramic figurines used to vent steam from covered pies as they bake, helping form a flaky crust and evenly cooked filling. piebird celebrates the rich tradition of American cooking, an expression of ingenuity and creativity born from the heart and heartland.
