SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.
(October 11, 2011) – Effective today, a
new name is revealed for a distinctive North Scottsdale hotel. Xona
Resort
Suites Scottsdale is now called Zona
Hotel
& Suites Scottsdale with major branding elements of the
431-room hotel
reflecting the change. In conjunction with a multi-million dollar
renovation
that modernized guest rooms and upgraded property amenities, the name
change
more accurately portrays the freshened hotel and overall guest
experience. The
new Zona Hotel also announces two guest service enhancements including
the Golf
Concierge and participation in Choice

Ascend Collection.
“The majority of our guests are golf and corporate travelers as well as family vacationers. The strong yet delicate influences of our new name and mark more effectively appeal to the breadth of our core demographic,” explains General Manager Bruce Pittet of the freshened name of the hotel. “With the anticipated completion of significant upgrades throughout the property, we now feel we are accurately communicating the friendly, welcoming experience Zona consistently delivers our guests.” Sunstone Realty Advisors purchased the hotel in January 2011 and appointed O’Neill Hotels & Resorts as the hotel management company for the property. Fully embracing the property, management conducted a thorough evaluation of the hotel and its competitive environment to solidify its vision of the improvement plan for the property. Extensive research, which included surveying and analyzing opinions from the hotel’s substantial client base, made it clear that a new yet traditional, easy-to-pronounce name was the correct direction for Zona. Along with the new name and renovations, Zona Hotel & Suites Scottsdale introduces two new services augmenting guest convenience.
