NEW YORK—Millennium Hotels and Resorts has revealed plans to upgrade its hotels in Los Angeles, Anchorage, and Buffalo.
“The continued renovations to our properties are an important step forward for our brand,” said Colin Wang, VP of operations. “We look forward to showcasing the fresh, new look to our guests in the months to come.”
Millennium Alaskan Hotel Anchorage embarks on an $8.3-million renovation encompassing a total overhaul of its 248 guestrooms, along with the hotel exterior. Rooms will undergo a top-to-bottom transformation that evokes a high-end Alaskan lodge feel featuring natural earth tones and a warm color scheme, according to the company. These refurbishments follow recent upgrades to the hotel’s public spaces including the lobby, meeting spaces, Fancy Moose Bar, Flying Machine Restaurant and the outdoor Deck at Lake Hood, which overlooks Lake Spenard. The lakeside hotel—the only one in Anchorage—will unveil its upgrades by the spring, marking the completion of the hotel’s phased renovations.
At Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles in downtown L.A., a multimillion-dollar, phased refurbishment will see upgrades to 683 guestrooms and suites beginning this spring. Opened in 1923 as the Host of the Coast, this hotel is a major convention hotel and the third largest in the area. When unveiled, classic guestrooms will feel crisp yet inviting, with a gray palette complementing the 1920s Italian Renaissance architecture, according to the company. Other recent updates include a soft refurbishment in four main ballrooms and the launch of the hotel’s signature Bugis Street Brasserie.
The 300 guestrooms and suites at Millennium Hotel Buffalo will undergo a complete transformation with a new look and modern amenities. Upgrades will be made throughout the hotel’s public and meeting spaces, and will include a new restaurant concept. Renovations are slated for completion mid-summer.
This announcement follows renovations to The McCormick Scottsdale and Millennium Harvest House Boulder in 2014, as well as Millennium Hotel Minneapolis and One UN New York in 2013 and 2012 respectively.
