The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village announced the expansion of its meetings and events capabilities with the addition of a $15 million, 35,000-square-foot conference center. The new space will feature a 13,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom and add to the 263-room waterfront resort’s existing 15,000-square-feet of function space. The conference center will begin accommodating groups of up to 1,250 guests in late 2017.
