Loews Coronado Bay Resort breaks ground on extensive
lobby andrestaurant renovation
Multi-million dollar project set for completion December 2012
SAN DIEGO (March 20, 2012) –Loews Coronado Bay Resortis pleased to announceplans for a complete redesign of its lobby, Bay Terrace,Cays Lounge, Market Café and Market-to-Go. The nine-month-long transformation will complement the resort’srecent meeting space,corridor and guestroom bathroom renovations for a totalinvestment of $12 million over the last three years.
Taking full advantage of the resort’s waterfront location, the new design will artfully combineSan Diego’s sun and surfwith the casual elegance of an oceanfront home. BAMO, a luxury design firm whose portfolio includes some of the world’s finest hotels, was commissioned to set the style they describe as “lively and fresh” and a place guests will “feel at ease.”
San Diego’s sparkling bay is central to the theme and one of the first things guests will see when entering the new lobby. A two-story chandelier of suspended glass spheres will add drama while freshly-painted walls in soft shades of blues, grays and natural toneswill create warmth.
Beyond the resort’s signature grand staircase,a vibrant newfloating bar will anchor the space, offering breathtaking views of the San Diego skyline and CoronadoBay. Amedia wall withnine LCD flat-screen televisionswill broadcast sporting events, while communal-style bar tables will promote casual networking. Outside on the Bay Terrace, oversized teak sofas will be arranged in comfortable conversation groups with stylish fire pits for a warm glow in the evening hours.
The second phase of Loews Coronado Bay Resort’s renovation will begin in the fall. The resort’sMarket Caféwill receive adramatic new entrance, banquettes, buffet and nautical-inspired accessories.The adjacentMarket To Go will offer acasual and festive outlet for a quick,gourmet snack on the go.
