The project has refurbished the facility’s lobby, registration areas, and gift shop while creating a new restaurant. The lobby of the hotel is now adorned in bright rich woods and marble floor. The look is accentuated with installation of a fireplace and comfortable seating space. The registration area of the building substitutes its conventional desk with individual pods following the makeover to boost interaction during the check-in process.
The hotel now features a more spacious gift shop named Appalachian Crafts II which dons an open plan concept. The revamped property also features the new Writer’s Bistro casual chic restaurant. The design of the restaurant draws reference to the literary history of the state. It consists of a private dining room which possesses a maximum seating capacity of 40 for special events.
