The Hilton Reborn
By KENNETH R. GOSSELIN, Courant Staff Writer (edited)

Hartford, Conn. - For many in Hartford, the reopening Tuesday of the downtown Hilton was a double cause for celebration.

And while the developers showed off their new Trumbull Street building, the workers were at the center of the celebration. Although the hotel's management has not yet reached an agreement with their union, the workers were welcomed at the ribbon-cutting and a special luncheon at which they entered on a red carpet and were showered with blue-and-white confetti.

All the attention caught senior bellhop Gordon Johnson a little by surprise. "It's the atmosphere," Johnson said. "It's about the people."
