ANNAPOLIS, Md.
Loews Annapolis Hotel is scheduled to start a major, multi-year renovation this first week of 2012. The work will include renovating the lobby, guest corridors and guest rooms. Some of the other major changes include doing away with the current Weather Rail Lounge and Breeze restaurant and creating a new eatery.
The check-in area will be moved from its current location and the new restaurant, yet to be named, will be designed to have a casual vibe. Throughout the renovations, a dining facility will remain open, though how long it will take to open the new restaurant is not certain, said Ellen Gale, spokesperson for Loews Hotels.
"We're hoping late spring, early summer," Gale said. Meanwhile, the hotel’s adjacent building—called the Powerhouse--which serves as conference, banquet and meeting space, was recently redone.
She estimated the entire renovation, including the 216 guest rooms, will take up to three years. "It's just time for a good sprucing up.”
