Marshall Hotels & Resorts is completing a $14 million renovation of the former Crowne Plaza Grand Rapids Airport & Conference Center. The 259-room Sheraton Hotel Airport and Conference Center Grand Rapids will begin its upgrade beginning in December.
Owned by HDDA Grand Rapids, the hotel’s renovation has been financed by Twain Financial Partners. LittKM Group is acting as project manager, and Gensler is providing architectural services.
“Following the completion of the renovation currently scheduled for June 2022, the hotel will have undergone a complete reimaging, bringing it to ‘like-new’ status,” said Mike Marshall, president and CEO, Marshall Hotels & Resorts. “The renovation will touch on myriad aspects of the hotel, from exterior signage and public spaces to guest rooms. The process will be conducted in phases to create minimal guest interruptions, and we cannot wait to share Grand Rapids’ ‘newest’ hotel with area business and leisure travelers.”
The renovation will incorporate the recently announced new Sheraton concept that reimagined the brand’s public spaces and guestrooms. In addition to completely upgrading existing spaces to meet Sheraton standards, the hotel also will feature a new, soon-to-be-announced restaurant. The hotel will have 21,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, the new Sheraton Club Lounge for Sheraton Club level rooms, indoor/outdoor swimming pool and fitness area, and 24-hour airport shuttle.
