HUNT VALLEY, Md.
Laurus Corporation has announced the acquisition of the 392-room Hunt Valley Inn, Md., for an undisclosed amount. The hotel will immediately embark on a $10 million renovation and conversion to a Wyndham Grand Hotel. Laurus has appointed Concord Hospitality Enterprises to operate the hotel.
The Hunt Valley Inn’s renovation will touch all aspects of the guest experience and includes upgrades to the 33,000 square feet of convention and meeting space, indoor and outdoor pre-function areas, including a new event lawn, guest room upgrades, and a re-imagined restaurant and lounge. During the renovation, the hotel will operate as a Wyndham affiliate, giving business travelers the added benefits of a major brand affinity program.
To make an immediate impact to the guest experience, the initial phases of the renovation will focus on upgrading the sense of arrival, such as expanding the Wi-Fi capacity. Refurbishment plans also will focus on upgrading the exterior, expanding the meeting space, adding an outdoor pavilion, and converting a percentage of the renovated guest rooms to an upscale concierge’s level.
The Hunt Valley Inn also is just minutes from Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the Baltimore National Aquarium, University of Maryland Baltimore, the Maryland Zoo, Camden Yards and the Baltimore Convention Center.
