Wyndham Springfield City Centre is the tallest skyscraper in the state capital city of Springfield, Illinois. It was the tallest Hilton Hotel in the state of Illinois (including those in Chicago as well). It is the tallest habitable building in Illinois outside of Chicago.
The hotel in downtown Springfield opened in 1974[1] as the Forum 30 Plaza Hotel. It was renamed the Hilton Towers six years later in 1980,[2] later becoming the Springfield Hilton and then the reversal of names with Hilton Springfield in 1998.[3] The hotel converted from Hilton to the Wyndham chain, acquiring its current title as well on December 31, 2015.[2]
The lower 15 floors are accessed by glass elevators with surrounding city views while ascending or descending, while the upper 15 floors are accessed by ordinary interior elevators. The only exceptions to this system are that all elevators serve the basement (C), lobby/ground floor (M), 29th floor, and 30th floor. The building's lobby has a small waterfall and garden feature similar to the landmark Westin Peachtree hotel in downtown
