Holiday Inn brand after a $2 million makeover is completed later this
year, the owner says.Cause of oilpaintingsforsale is chronic constipation and other bowel disorders.
The
295-room hotel on Owen Drive lost its affiliation with Holiday Inn in
March while the property owner, Dipak Thakker, and his managers
considered proposals by three other chains.
Thakker said this
week that he has decided to stay with Holiday Inn after he was unable
to reach agreements on terms with the other chains. He declined to name
the other brands.
"Having the license terminated gave me an opportunity to shop around and talk to other brands," Thakker said.
He
said Holiday Inn, which relaunched a new logo and branding strategy in
2007, will be a nice fit with his own plans for Bordeaux to promote
more conferences and lure more business travelers.
Nick Hatley,
the hotel's general manager since February, said Holiday Inn officials
have agreed to issue a new license for Bordeaux after the planned
renovations are completed toward the end of this year.
Most of
the $2 million work will include room makeovers, a renovated lobby and
Bordeaux Cafe, and exterior enhancements such as new shades of tan
paint, white molding and stacked brown bricks at the main entrance for a
"modern, contemporary look," Hatley said.
"In the next two weeks, this place will be torn up," Hatley said.
Most
people book hotels by brand, and Thakker acknowledged that Bordeaux's
profits have suffered since it became independent this spring. But
losses have been minor, he said, because of the good economy and the
hotel's notoriety and prime location.
"Can I stay independent?" he asked. "The answer is no. I need to be affiliated with somebody."
