WEST HARRISON, N.Y.
The Renaissance Westchester Hotel in White Plains, N.Y., has been completely overhauled with a six-month renovation of the 36-year-old hotel at a cost of $13 million. The property now features a compelling design with indigenous details, upgraded technology, and re-imagined spaces.
The hotel is also now home to the new Hive Living Room + Bar, featuring American cuisine with locally sourced ingredients prepared by award-winning Chef Jean-Claude Lanchais. The atmosphere is one of an urban barn, with warm woods, diffused lighting, and a variety of communal tables, booths and tables that create a unique and serene ambiance reminiscent of the surrounding landscape.
Each of the hotel's 347 guest rooms and 6 suites have been completely redone and feature an ample desk area, a 42" flat panel TV, and new bathrooms with sleek white tile, rich dark woods, and a soft lighting palate.
And finally, the meeting space features the addition of the new Harrison Ballroom (2,080 square feet with 9-foot ceilings) and Hudson Room (1,240 square feet with 10-foot ceilings). The new ballroom overlooks a wooded landscape with floor-to-ceiling windows. The Harrison Ballroom meanwhile can host up to 180 guests banquet style and the Hudson room can accommodate up to 90 guests.
