HOLLYWOOD, Calif.
Next summer, The Beverly Garland will debut its new look and new name—The Garland. This will take place after the completion of a $20 million dollar, multi-phase redesign and renovation that began this month. In addition, the property will shed the Holiday Inn flag November 30, 2013; Marcus Hotels & Resorts will continue to manage the property.
Spearheading the renovation is General Manager Scott A. Mills who holds more than 20 years’ experience in the hospitality industry. His background with luxury properties, including multiple Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts and the Viceroy Hotel Group should be a solid asset in efforts to transform the Hollywood lodging to a unique, one-of-a-kind urban retreat.
The renovation plans will incorporate bold, vibrant colors against rich textures and eclectic accent pieces. The re-designed property aims to showcase a sophisticated, retro-cool California style and experience. Designed by Forchielli Glynn, known for their work with hotel properties such as Miraval Resort and the Peninsula Beverly Hills, and Rossi Architecture, who designed the remodel of the Riviera Palm Springs, the hotel’s renovation will include transformation of all 242 guest rooms and 14 suites and public spaces, including the addition of a new, luscious outdoor garden space, unique to the area and designed for weddings and other social events.
In addition, the hotel’s signature restaurant, currently named “Tula’s Café” after Beverly Garland’s granddaughter, will be redesigned to unveil a brand new concept and welcoming outdoor patio.
The Beverly Garland is just minutes away from many of Hollywood’s most popular destinations, including Universal Studios, Universal CityWalk, Hollywood and the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
