Architectural Design Collaborative P.C. and Dennis Noskin Architects completed the expansion and renovation project, while the Gettys Group handled all interior refurbishments. Andron Construction Group, based in Westchester County, was the general contractor.

The Dolce Tarrytown House complex includes two restored and renovated 19th century mansions--the King House and the Biddle Mansion and meeting/conference space that totals approximately 28,000 sf set on 26 acres. The renovation and expansion campaign included renovation of all guest rooms including wiring for high-speed Internet access that will be available by the end of this summer. Also, the Winter Palace Restaurant has been expanded, as has on-site parking capabilities. Traffic in and out of the property has also been enhanced with the addition of a new exit leaving the property.

Dolce International officials note that the property's name was changed from the Tarrytown House to Dolce Tarrytown House to reflect the company's current aggressive branding initiative. "The reason for Dolce taking this bold branding step is partially due to the recently created partnership between Dolce/AEW and Soros Real Estate Investments which is creating a $250 million war chest to acquire 10-15 properties in the next three years," Dolce says. "Growing the portfolio to 35-40 properties globally creates a need for a strong brand identity, and therefore all of the Dolce-owned properties will include the Dolce name in the property name.
