402 Guestrooms, Ballrooms and Casino Getting Total Makeover |
SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO � April 2006 � The San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino has begun phase one of a $35 million renovation to keep the 32 year-old building in sync with the latest in luxury resorts. The finished product will result in a grand lobby, updated casino, refreshed ballroom, and guest rooms with a new chic Latin Caribbean look. In keeping up-to-date and looking fresh, the hotel will undergo a major renovation during which time major areas of the hotel such as guestrooms and bathrooms, ballrooms and the casino will receive a total makeover. �It is a very exciting prospect to be able to deliver a brand new room product to our very loyal guests,� General Manager Hans Georg Rohrbein stated. �Our accommodations will be tasteful and airy with a Latin Caribbean ambiance while maintaining a sophisticated delivery with the new Marriott �Revive� bedding package, flat screen televisions and other touches that appeal to the most discerning business and leisure traveler.� The casino will be the first to receive treatment. It will experience an expansion and upgrade starting mid-April and should be completed by early June. The existing casino will remain open in its entirety 24 hours a day and the expansion is expected to open in early June 2006. The finished product will have 12,700 square feet of gaming space, 470 slot machines, 26 table games and a casino bar. Following, the main tower will be closed for a complete renovation. All 402 rooms will receive Marriott International�s latest features in design, luxury bedding and state of the art technology. Included will be Marriott�s new Revive® bedding featuring 300-thread count sheets, down comforters, sheeted duvet covers, thicker mattresses with plush toppers and fluffier pillows. The ballroom will also be getting a face-lift with renovations taking place in September and meeting facilities due for work in October. Additionally, the cabana wing, consisting of 123 rooms, will be introduced as a brand new product featuring new accommodations and suites. The 21-story structure that houses the San Juan Marriott Resort &
Stellaris Casino was originally constructed in 1964 and opened as a Sheraton
Hotel and then transitioned to the DuPont Plaza Hotel & Casino. It
was then closed for a period of time while it was totally restored and
refurbished. It reopened on February 16, 1995 boasting the Marriott name
and bringing a new level of quality to Puerto Rico�s shores. The San Juan
Marriott & Stellaris Casino was last refurbished in 2001 to renew its
exterior and interior.
Construction and renovations are scheduled to be complete by December 2006 and the San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino will ring in 2007 with a brand new, state-of-the-art product.
