The Westin Cape Coral Resort at Marina Village in Florida has completed its $15 million renovation almost a full year ahead of schedule. The hotel’s renovation was inspired by biophilia, connecting people to nature. As a result, new room interiors have a collection of natural elements to create a contemporary residential aesthetic. Each guestroom includes a collection of locally sourced materials from Florida, including wood and glass elements along with a fluid pattern motif that complements the hotel’s waterfront views.
In addition to room enhancements, the hotel renovation increased guestroom inventory from 293 rooms to 308 rooms by converting 15 three-bedroom suites into two-bedroom suites and upgrading the remaining accommodations into new guestrooms.
“Our team worked tirelessly over the last year to debut a property which thoughtfully caters to Cape Coral’s rising number of local and leisure travelers while also supporting our robust bridal and group business,” said Michael Tighe, general manager of the hotel. “After a year that inspired us to embrace the great outdoors, our design concept, which reflects the natural beauty of Southwest Florida and celebrates Westin’s wellness-centric ethos, is a natural extension of the travel experience our guests have been favoring.”
The guestroom renovation and addition of 15 units will cater to the hotel’s group business vertical. In 2018, the property debuted a 30,000-square foot meetings and events center to attract more meetings and events.
“As we settle into a new post-pandemic normal, we understand meetings and events planners are opting for venues with ample outdoor spaces, plenty of room for social distancing, and flexible accommodations for guests. By infusing natural elements into our guest rooms and expanding our room count, we’re providing planners with the experiences their clients are craving and offering them more opportunities to customize safe and memorable experiences, ranging from intimate affairs to larger banquet events,” Tighe said.
Additional new amenities include the Fridge Fill program, which provides in-room ingredient baskets for ready-made meals that can be eaten in the suites.
