Stanford Court to Receive $32M Makeover

SAN FRANCISCO-The 393-room Renaissance Stanford Court Hotel here that changed hands late last year will receive a $32-million makeover, according to the new owner, the private equity investment arm of JE Robert Cos. The renovation of the Nob Hill hotel is expected to be complete by mid 2008.

The work will include all new guest rooms, a port cochere, a new restaurant, meeting room facilities, and a new lobby and front desk. Other planned improvements include improved back-of-house administrative systems, and more visible external signage. The renovation will take place in phases; the hotel will remain open throughout the project and will continue to be managed by Marriott International and will continue to fly its Renaissance flag.
