LAKE GENEVA, Wisc.
Marcus Hotels & Resorts, a division of The Marcus Corporation, announced the upcoming addition of brand-new, all-season villas to the award-winning Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in Lake Geneva, Wis.
Twenty-nine villas will be added to the Grand Geneva campus, which currently includes 355 guest rooms at the expansive Grand Geneva Resort & Spa, and 225 suites at Timber Ridge Lodge & Waterpark. By June 2017, the Grand Geneva campus will offer more than 600 units combined.
The villas will feature studio, one, two and three bedroom accommodations. Each unit will include a full kitchen, fireplace, flat screen TVs, washer and dryer and deluxe furnishings. The interior design of the villas will incorporate visual elements of the outdoors while providing a comfortable, upscale setting.
The villas will be created by renovating unused buildings adjacent to the WELL Spa + Salon.
"The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is a very special, all-season destination for leisure and business guests," said Joseph Khairallah, COO of Marcus Hotels & Resorts. "The addition of the villas at Grand Geneva is a multimillion-dollar investment designed to enhance the resort experience for travelers.”
Half of the villas will be available beginning March 1, 2017, and the remaining units will be open by June 2017. The villas will provide spacious accommodations for a variety of guests including business and leisure groups, golfers, skiers, snowboarders, girlfriend getaways, couples and families. Villa guests will be able to enjoy all the amenities of the resort combined with their own outdoor swimming pool during the summer season. Six fire pits will also be added for evening enjoyment and entertainment.
"Just steps away from the main resort, the villas will provide a unique experience for those who want to get away but with all the conveniences of home," said Grand Geneva Managing Director Steve Magnuson. "Our ongoing commitment to this exceptional property has allowed us to further the Grand Geneva as a top Midwest destination and one of the best golf resorts in the country."
The resort originally opened in 1968 as the Lake Geneva Playboy Club Hotel. The Marcus Corporation purchased the Frank Lloyd Wright inspired resort in 1993, and reopened it as the Grand Geneva Resort & Spa in 1994. Over the years, the company added three restaurants, renovated the golf courses, added Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark, expanded the meeting spaces, and renovated all rooms.
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa features a wide variety of activities for all ages and all seasons including golf, swimming, skiing, horseback riding and relaxation at the WELL Spa & Salon.
