It will also feature an opulent lobby and bar, a luxurious spa and 20,000 square feet of flexible event and convention space that includes seven separate rooms as well as pre-function areas and smaller breakout meeting rooms. The centerpiece of the resort will be the pool area that will be an extension of the hotel lobby and provide an outdoor connection to the convention and meeting space.
Construction is underway and the resort is anticipated to open in fall, 2016.
