Completes Major Upgrade of Landmark Ocean City Hotel |
 OCEAN
CITY, Md., April 10, 2006 � The Fenwick Inn, located in north Ocean City
at 138th Street and Coastal Highway, announced today the grand opening
of the Indoor Aqua Fun Center, transforming the landmark resort into a
year-round destination. The new indoor water experience, targeted
for both kids and adults, is the final stage of a major make-over of the
hotel, which includes a complete renovation of all guest rooms, as well
as a total modernization of the property�s exterior and landscaping.
The Aqua Fun Center provides a unique water experience, not just a dip in an indoor pool. After demolishing the previous pool area, architects created a new-concept water area, including a new pool extending into an ankle-deep �sprayground area,� highlighted by three lemon drops with a water spray feature ideal for small children. The center of the water area features a large raindrop with a continuous cascade of water. Two eight-foot-long, hydro-therapy benches complement the main water area. A raised jet spa with room for up to 12 people offers a soothing waterfall feature as it blends with the main water area. Custom murals accent the look and feel of the Indoor Aqua Fun Center, which is topped off with a new skylight roof system that brings in sunlight and sky. �We wanted to deliver well beyond the typical Ocean City experience, and believe the new Aqua Fun Center, combined with our totally refurbished, over-sized rooms now set the Fenwick Inn apart from other resorts in the area,� commented Greg Fleming, general manager. �We now are a year-round destination.� The Fenwick Inn features 201 family-sized guest rooms, typically 15 percent larger than an average hotel room, and includes microwave ovens and refrigerators. Jordan�s Rooftop Restaurant, one of the city�s popular eateries, offers American-style cuisine and live entertainment. In the spring and fall, Jordan�s provides a �Kids Eat Free� program for Fenwick Inn guests. The Fenwick Inn is managed by Marshall Management, Inc. based in Salisbury, Md., a leading, national independent management company. The Fenwick Inn�s new Indoor Aqua Fun Center is typical of the many initiatives the company creates to enhance the ambience and profitability of its independent hotels.
