OPELIKA, Ala.
The Auburn Marriott Opelika Hotel and Conference Center at Grand National is completing a multi-year comprehensive renovation, just in time for the return of The PGA TOUR's Barbasol Championship.
"All 129 guest rooms and most common areas have been renovated, including guest corridors and lobbies, as well as the ballroom and meeting rooms," said Kevin Cross, general manager at the Auburn/Opelika Marriott. "Guest rooms have been completely remodeled to include 49-inch televisions and a full wall mural of golf scenes shot at the Robert Trent Jones courses at Grand National.”
In conjunction with the Opelika and Auburn Chambers of Commerce, formal Renovation Reveal is planned for Thurs., June 2. The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. and feature hotel tours.
Renovations include a luxurious makeover of the Presidential Suite, as well as the hotel's Lakeview Room Restaurant and Fairways Lounge. In addition, a renovation of the more than 15,000 square feet of total meeting space and guest lobby areas creates a more welcome and modern atmosphere.
The renovation of the hotel, near the famous Auburn golf course, comes just in time for the Camp Soaring Summer program in early May. Poolside games, family dining, tennis, pickleball and golf offer plenty of fun as the Camp Soaring Summer program returns for its third year.
Overlooking the award-winning Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, Auburn Marriott Opelika Hotel & Conference Center at Grand National is nestled on 2,000 acres of lakefront countryside, providing an exceptional golf and business retreat located in the quaint, historic town of Opelika.
