MARINA DEL REY, Calif.
DoubleTree by Hilton announced the opening of the Hotel MdR Marina del Rey - a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel. The rebrand marks the start of a dramatic $7 million transformation, which will be conducted between November 2013 and February 2014 to complete contemporary design upgrades across the property. Formerly the Courtyard Los Angeles Marina del Rey, the hotel was purchased by Channel West Group and Arris Investments LLC.
Preliminary renovations began at the hotel in 2012, with updates to all 277 guestrooms and suites. When property renovations complete in early 2014, the hotel will unveil a fresh, modern design aesthetic implemented by Atlanta-based architecture firm, CMMI. Among the enhancements will be the addition of six new guestrooms, bringing the total number of guestrooms to 283.
Further upgrades will include the addition of a poolside seating area for the hotel’s new restaurant concept, which will be announced in 2014, the debut of an outdoor fireplace and fire pit by the resort-style pool, the addition of a ping-pong room, new audio-visual equipment for the hotel’s 5,725 square feet of flexible meeting space, and a redesign of the lobby and front desk areas.
Guests will also enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, and 24-hour fitness and business centers.
