A new 14-story hotel is planned here that would connect to the Hotel Pere Marquette to create a headquarters hotel for the Peoria Civic Center.
If approved by the city council next week, an enclosed walkway would connect the Civic Center to a full-service hotel with 489 guest rooms and additional meeting, convention and banquet space. It would likely be operating by 2012, according to the developer.
The Pere Marquette would receive $25 million in renovations under the plan. The new hotel would be managed by Marriott Corp.
