Virginia Beach Hilton Resort & Conference Center
Virginia Beach, Virginia
This hotel is part of a large public-private venture planned to revitalize downtown Virginia Beach. The four-star, full service hotel is the first major hotel to developed on Virginia Beach since the nineteenth century. The hotel will offer 300 guestrooms, a 5,400 square-foot restaurant, 10,000 square feet of conference space and indoor and outdoor rooftop pools.
An 825-space, 5-level parking garage accessible via overhead walkway will provide covered parking. In addition, there is an approximate 70,000 square-foot community park area, 26,000 square feet of retail and proposed streetscape improvements along the 31st Street site included as part of this project.
The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island
Kiawah Island, South Carolina
With its relaxed ambiance and upscale appointments, The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island is the crowning jewel of the South Carolina seacoast. Located just outside of Charleston, this full-service resort and spa is a testament to southern elegance and features a variety of unique touches that give the resort a hint of the “low country,” including antiqued, painted woods, wide plank flooring and woven sea grass panels adorning the lobby walls.
The ultra-luxurious 255-room property also offers 11 Executive Suites, one Governor’s Suite and a spectacular, 3,100 square-foot Presidential Suite. Other amenities include
a massive, nature-themed spa, two fine dining rooms, and 18,000 square feet of meeting and convention space within the hotel’s Junior, Grand and Executive
Ballrooms.
The much-anticipated opening of the seaside resort is scheduled for March 2004.
