DoubleTree Hilton Orlando settles discrimination lawsuit, agreeing to welcome Arab Americans.

The US Justice Department reached a settlement with the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Orlando after it canceled a conference for an Arab American group, allegedly due to discrimination. The hotel must now issue a statement welcoming all guests, adopt an anti-discrimination policy, and reach out to at least five Arab or Arab American groups. The settlement follows a lawsuit claiming the hotel's actions violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
