The renovation upgraded existing restaurants, revived old favorites and introduced new ones.

The Salishan Dining Room features a new cooking line, a private dining area and in the foyer, a temperature-controlled, 750-bottle wine showcase.

The resort's Wine Cellar now hosts its own private dining area and holds more than 10,000 bottles, including a broad selection of fine Northwest vintages.

The Sun Room Restaurant, previously converted to a gift shop by previous owners, has returned with a unique approach to casual dining.

The new Club House bar and grill offers hearty dining from the newly renovated pro shop.

Improving a Legendary Golf Course

To preserve the golf course's status as one of the Northwest's finest, Spring Capital brought in Oregon golf legend Peter Jacobsen and his design firm, Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design, to execute a three-million-dollar renovation, including:

• Rebuilt greens;
• Repositioned bunkers to emphasize strategy;
• Improved turf conditions;
• Layout changes for improved playability;
• New drainage systems to enable year-round play;
• Enhanced views and aesthetics.

• High-speed Internet in all rooms;
• Improved in-room lighting;
• Completely refurbished suites;
• A fully renovated gift shop;
• New, state-of-the-art fitness equipment;
• Dehumidifier systems for the fitness center and swimming pool areas.

Several measures were taken to better integrate the adjacent Shops at Salishan marketplace with the resort while enriching the shopping experience:

• A new deli and upscale wine bar were added;
• The return of the nationally known Lawrence Gallery;
• Improved lighting and landscaping;
• New awnings, siding and grand entryways;
• A stone fireplace in the central courtyard.

Portland's Teufel Nursery was contracted to restore the resort's landscaping with an emphasis on native plants.  The original landscape designs, as drawn up by the late Barbara Feely, have helped guide the renovation.

Improved Accommodations for Events

The former Cedar Tree Restaurant has been converted into a meeting room with capacity for 105 guests and overlooks pristine Siletz Bay. In addition, a renovated business center and new Internet Cafe support work-minded travelers.

Still to Come: A Full Day Spa

In late 2004, a European-style day spa will open at Salishan in an all-new facility.  The spa will offer guests a full slate of services in a relaxing and luxurious environment.
