LA benefits from shiny new rooms

MANY Los Angeles’ hotels are either brand new or benefiting from recent renovations.

The Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza recently redecorated its presidential and three junior suites. Renovation of the meeting space, public areas and all 453 guestrooms and suites is currently underway. The Warner Center Marriott in Woodland Hills recently completed a top-to-bottom renovation of its grand ballroom and most of its 25,000 square feet of meeting space. Renovations to the 474 guestrooms were completed in April. In May, the 637-room Renaissance Hollywood Hotel opened the 5,700-square-foot Spa Luce, featuring personalized treatments, celebrity-inspired pampering, top-of-the-line beauty and health products, and six distinct treatment rooms. The Wiltshire Grand Los Angeles will begin renovating its 900 guestrooms and suites in August 2008. A new lobby and lounge are scheduled for early 2009. The Hyatt West Hollywood is undergoing a $35 million renovation of the entire property. It will be closed August through November. The Hotel Bel-Air will open The Spa at Hotel Bel-Air in the winter. The stand-alone facility will include 10 spa suites, three residential spa suites, an organic juice bar/café, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a Zen Studio.

With more than 92,000 guest rooms and suites, Los Angeles is the fourth largest lodging market in the United States.
