Santa Fe’s Eldorado Hotel & Spa Announces Renovation
February 23, 2015The AAA Four Diamond Eldorado Hotel & Spa, located in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is undergoing extensive updates including a new 7,000-sf ballroom, a new lobby bar and the addition of a wedding chapel. The project also includes a refreshed room design and new artwork in the hotel’s 219 guest rooms and suites.
Heritage Hotels & Resorts, the largest, independently owned hotel chain in New Mexico, acquired the historic Eldorado Hotel in May 2014, making it the eighth hotel in the company’s portfolio of New Mexico properties and their fourth hotel in Santa Fe.
“For 25 years, the Eldorado Hotel & Spa has been welcoming guests from all over the world to experience the magic of this diverse destination and its deep historical roots. Our goal in upgrading this treasured hotel and Santa Fe landmark pays further homage to its namesake El Dorado – The City of Gold,” said Heritage Hotels & Resorts Inc. CEO Jim Long, referring to the countless expeditions in the 16th and 17th centuries by explorers seeking out the fabled cities of gold and immeasurable riches that were ultimately never found. “The new additions and enhancements to Eldorado have been thoughtfully designed to reflect this enduring legend for our guests to embrace and discover while on their travels,” he said.
Currently offering a total of 22,000 sf of meeting and event space, the Eldorado’s existing outdoor Pavilion will be transformed into a fully enclosed 7,00-sf ballroom with 18-foot ceilings. The new ballroom will be divisible into two separate meeting rooms by soundproof air walls. Additionally, it will feature a state-of-the-art LED lighting system in the ceiling, which has infinite color and motion variations allowing customers to create a variety of atmospheres for their special event. The ballroom can accommodate 900 guests for a reception and 550 guests for a banquet.
