The hotel began exterior renovations in August and replaced the roof, painted the outside walls and added new lighting around the building and throughout the landscaping. Extensive interior renovations, which started in October, completely refurbished the hotel and provided a fresh, modern look to the suites, conference facilities, amenities, lobby and other public spaces.

All of the hotel's suites were completely stripped to the bare walls and updated with new carpeting, wallpaper, paint, lighting, furniture and décor accessories like lamps, wall art and bedspreads. The suites also were outfitted with new bath tubs, tile and bathroom countertops.

The hotel's 12 executive conference suites also were gutted and updated. The hotel's 5,600 sf of conference space received new carpeting, wallpaper, paint and furniture. The hotel also added ISDN lines for high-speed Internet access. The hotel also added several amenities aimed at the corporate traveler.

Additionally, the 100-person restaurant was completely redone and the atrium bar was updated. The hotel also resurfaced its indoor pool and spa.

The lobby was revamped with new floor tiles, furniture, lighting, wallpaper and chandeliers. The hotel rebuilt its front desk and also refinished the elevator walls and carpeting.

"The renovations are more than just curb appeal,'' McKenna says. '' We gave the hotel a complete face lift, inside and out, that will help the Embassy Suites Hotel DIA-Gateway continue our 15-year track record as one of the leading hotels in this market.
