The Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa in Galena, Illinois, managed by The Bricton Group, is embarking on a complete refurbishment and modernization of all 80 guest rooms at the Eagle Ridge Inn and Courtyard. While the rooms are under renovation, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa is offering special rates on the distinctive homes and villas located on the resort grounds through April 2017.
“If you haven’t stayed in one of the homes in The Galena Territory, they’re a great base for all the activities we have going on this winter,” said Thomas Ruhs, general manager of Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa. “Cross-country skiing, sledding and ice skating on the pond are just a few of the things you can do including golf since the weather has been warmer.”
As for the guest rooms, Eagle Ridge is committed to keeping the old-world aesthetic of the lodge while modernizing the interiors. Room updates will touch every surface of the guest rooms, including:
“The first phase of the renovation was completed in 2015, which included a brand new exterior, modernized lobby and public spaces, 15,000 sf of IACC-accredited meeting space, and restoring the golf courses to their original playing condition, said Edward Doherty, president of The Bricton Group. “We are excited to now continue the transformation with the guest rooms.”
The guest room renovation is expected to be completed by April 2017. A number of guest rooms will continue to be available during the upgrades, and special rates will be offered on the more than 250 villas, townhomes, condos and distinctive homes that are available year-round.
Since Eagle Ridge began its major renovation, the following spaces have been completed:
Those who haven’t stayed in one of Eagle Ridge’s guest homes before will discover large and comfortable spaces that accommodate two to 12 guests. The homes are located within minutes of all Eagle Ridge has to offer, including the main lodge with the pool, spa and restaurants, the golf courses and the Nordic Center, which is the hub of Eagle Ridge’s winter activities.
Each home includes a kitchen and comfortable living and sleeping spaces. The largest properties are perfect for one or several families, offering up privacy as well as large gathering rooms and eating areas.
Vacation and group meeting packages are always available. Space is filling up especially fast for the Winter Carnival, which takes place February 17–19. Guests can visit www.eagleridge.com to view current packages and make reservations, or call 800-892-2269.
