Sonesta International Hotels Corporation completed refurbishment projects across its portfolio of properties to the tune of more than $400 million.
“The significant investment, including 33% of our managed full-service portfolio, is a testament to Sonesta’s dedication to quality and our future,” Sonesta President and CEO John Murray said.
“As owners and operators ourselves, we understand the importance of continuously enhancing our owned and managed hotels to exceed guest expectations,” he added.
Renovated hotels in the Royal Sonesta brand include The Benjamin Royal Sonesta New York and The Royal Sonesta Kaua’i Resort Lihue.
“We also opened the Royal Sonesta Capitol Hill after a large adaptive reuse conversion from a former government building in the heart of Capitol Hill,” Sonesta said.
“These properties have undergone extensive renovations, including a comprehensive refresh of guestrooms, lobbies and food and beverage outlets,” the company added. “Upgrades have introduced modern amenities such as shower conversions, advanced bedside lighting controls, smart TVs and enhanced WiFi.”
Under the Sonesta Hotels & Resorts brand, The Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island in South Carolina has been enhanced with the introduction of kitchenettes in corner king rooms and luxury specialty suites, upgraded public areas and meeting and event spaces, four new food-and-beverage outlets and a new adult swimming pool.
Other newly renovated hotels in the Sonesta Hotels & Resorts brand include The Sonesta Irvine, Sonesta Miami Airport, Sonesta White Plains Downtown and Sonesta Los Angeles Airport LAX.
Extended Stay and Select Service brands – Sonesta ES Suites, Sonesta Simply Suites, and Sonesta Select Hotels – were also the recipients of renovations that included guestroom upgrades with bedside charging, 55-inch televisions, new mattresses and modernized finishes.
“Public spaces now feature new The Focus coworking areas in many Sonesta ES Suites, improved breakfast layouts, and expanded grab-and-go markets,” Sonesta said, adding that properties with completed renovations include Sonesta ES Suites Toronto-Markham and Sonesta ES Suites Torrance Redondo Beach.
Going forward, Sonesta plans to invest significant funds to renovate the Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston and the Nautilus Sonesta Hotel Miami Beach this year.
