(Apr. 14-16).”
As for the guest rooms, Eagle Ridge is committed to keeping the old-world aesthetic of the lodge while modernizing the interiors. Room updates will touch every surface of the guest rooms, including:
• New tubs and walk-in showers, bathroom fixtures, tile and counter surfaces
• All new furniture, including headboards, chairs, dressers, tables, electronics-ready desks and nightstands. Mini-refrigerators will also be added to each room.
• Paint, carpet and window treatments
• Luxury bedding, towels, pillows, lighting and art
“The first phase of the renovation was completed in 2015, which included a brand new exterior, modernized lobby and public spaces, 15,000 square feet of IACC-accredited meeting space, and restoring the golf courses to their original playing condition," said Edward Doherty, President of The Bricton Group. “We are excited to now continue the transformation with the guest rooms.”
The guest room renovation is expected to be completed by April 2017. A number of guest rooms will continue to be available during the upgrades, and special rates will be offered on the more than 250 villas, townhomes, condos and distinctive homes that are available year-round.
