“We’re at the beginning of our journey and I’m really looking forward to it. We have the experience and creativity to turn this property into a leading destination for travelers, meeting planners, wedding couples, and foodies alike,” said Gottlieb. “With the $10 million renovation completed, extends beyond our guestrooms, and includes enhanced flexible meeting space and an elegant ballroom, we know our guests will be as excited as we are about what’s next at this beloved hotel."
