RENO, Nev.- May 22, 2001--Siena Hotel Spa Casino, the nation's newest boutique hotel, opens July 31, 2001 on the banks of the Truckee River in Reno, Nevada. The $70 million, 214-room hotel has a unique combination of services and amenities, including a full-service day spa, high-energy 24-hour casino, eclectic art, riverside fine dining, and distinctive food and wine experiences. Designed by architect Mark Whipple of The Russell Group, this four-star
caliber property was modeled after its Italian namesake and dedicated to
the discriminating traveler.
Guests at Siena will enjoy food and wine experiences that reflect the rich traditions of the town of Siena. Executive Chef Antonio Caggiano - a celebrated Tuscan chef -- brings his passion for food, wine and the Italian lifestyle to the new hotel. Cafe Palio, Siena's 24-hour coffee shop, features a fresh, hearty cuisine augmented by an open kitchen with rotisserie meats and poultry, homemade sausage, a live fire oven, and fresh breads and desserts baked twice daily. Lexie's, a contemporary Italian restaurant and lounge overlooking the Truckee River, offers an abundance of fresh seafood, sizable portions of organic beef and an expansive wine list. Lexie's also has a climatized smoking room, cognac bar and walk-in humidor where guests can partake in a premium cigar or imported cigarette paired with a smooth, aged cognac and specialty food appetizers. The lounge area will be a popular after hours spot for conversation and entertainment. The Enoteca (Italian for "wine cave") is home to a wine bar/lounge that serves more than 200 fine wines by the glass with a special appetizer menu featuring foods which accentuate the taste of each wine. Visit the 18,000-bottle wine cellar or retail wine shop, or celebrate the good life at the Tuscan Table, a seven-course meal paired with highly allocated wines complete with tasting / pairing discussions led by the executive chef or the Siena's own Master Sommelier Barrie Larvin. Larvin, an internationally recognized Master Sommelier, was responsible for creating the world's finest wine cellar at the Rio Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Spa at Siena will rival other acclaimed day spas in treatments,
services and ambiance. The Spa has 11 therapy rooms for massage, facial
and body treatments. Trained therapists offer personalized consultations
that enhance well being and desired effects. The atmosphere combines serenity
and special service in a quiet sanctuary filled with fragrant flowers and
meditative music.
Siena's 23,000 square foot casino will quickly distinguish itself with
its decor, size and atmosphere, as well as Reno's most innovative gaming
technology and ambassador service. The environment will be unique - a high-energy
casino amidst Roman Italian ruins set outside the city of Siena. Crumbling
stone pillars, mammoth archways, high ceilings and Tuscan countryside frescos
