DALLAS
A groundbreaking ceremony was held recently at the Renaissance Dallas Hotel for a new 30,000-square-foot meeting facility. The 14-month, multi-million dollar construction project will create jobs for nearly 200 workers and is scheduled for completion in June of 2014.
The new facility will give the hotel a total of 50,000 square feet of meeting and event space. The centerpiece of the new space will be a 16,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom (able to accommodate up to 1,500 people for a seated dinner) with plentiful natural light throughout.
Directly above the new ballroom will be the City View Ballroom and City View Rooftop Terrace including an additional 10,900 square feet of indoor and outdoor space for large-scale events. The City View Ballroom will offer floor-to-ceiling windows and views of the Dallas skyline. The new structure is designed to qualify for the LEED Standard Silver status rating.
Key design elements include contemporary décor, vaulted ceilings, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting. The facility will offer a private entrance with valet parking options and motor coach access, as well as catering services focused on modern-American cuisine with a local twist. The hotel’s current meeting and event space will remain open throughout the expansion.
