Big Apple Wallcovering Receives Second Purchase Order for the Hilton Hotel, Anaheim The purchase order is significant considering the overall scope of the $70 million renovation project in the heart of Anaheim's most prestigious landmarks. The hotel's designers have created soft pastels and earth tones to complement the spirit of Southern California, in a facility with more than 100,000 square feet of indoor meeting space with 51 conference halls and two massive ballrooms. It stands next to the Disneyland Resort in the middle of the prominent Anaheim Convention Center. "Our on-sight evaluation of the Hilton Anaheim has demonstrated how much a fine, custom-made wood veneer wallcovering can create a stunningly natural effect. The fact that we have been able to deliver precisely what they wanted, while being sensitive to the environment, will create additional opportunities for us in the near future," stated Neal Jablon, CEO and President of Big Apple Worldwide, Inc.
