The Heathman Hotel in Kirkland, Washington Completes Major Renovation
and Redesign During Unexpected Two-Month Closure
Due to Castastrophic Water Main Break

The Hotel and Trellis Restaurant will Reopen in Early August 2012

 
KIRKLAND, WA--(Jul 26, 2012) - The Heathman Hotel, Kirkland's premier, full-service luxury hotel, today announced that The Heathman Hotel and Trellis restaurant will reopen on August 3rd, 2012, after an unexpected closure in May. This reopening will showcase the renovation that the guest rooms and Trellis restaurant underwent during the temporary closure.

On May 25, The Heathman Hotel experienced a catastrophic water main break causing major damage to the existing property that forced the hotel to close for over two months. During those two months, a major renovation and redesign enabled the hotel to expand the fitness center, add new meeting space for luncheons and corporate functions and an intimate dining room with an adjoining larger event space. The meeting space and new fitness center will be available for use by hotel guests and local patrons at the end of August. Additionally, a library for receptions and guest use to 'get away' has been added. With the new features, The Heathman Hotel decided to not reopen the in-house Penterra Spa.

In an effort to support local business, The Heathman Hotel reengaged the original designers, contractors and architects to complete these hotel and restaurant renovations. The hotel also kept the majority of employees on payroll during this closure.

"Despite the difficulties encountered due to our unexpected closure in May," said Belinda Jensen, director of sales and marketing at The Heathman Hotel, "we are thrilled to be able to continue to fulfill our commitment to our staff, guests, and community members. The renovations will offer an even more sophisticated space coupled with the top-notch services that our guests and patrons have come to expect from The Heathman Hotel."
