August 20, 2012 - Construction on The Westin Snowmass Resort and the Wildwood Snowmass hotel is on schedule to be completed for a grand opening on November 15, 2012. Both properties are currently accepting reservations for arrivals beginning December 13, 2012.

Construction on The Westin Snowmass Resort and the Wildwood Snowmass hotel is on schedule to be completed for a grand opening on November 15, 2012. Both properties are currently accepting reservations for arrivals beginning December 13, 2012.

“From the beginning of this project we had a very aggressive construction schedule but our crews have been hustling and the work is progressing nicely,” says The Westin Snowmass Resort General Manager John Curnow. “The scale of this project is huge and when it's complete in November it's going to change the face of Snowmass, injecting new vitality and vibrancy to the mall. This is the biggest thing to happen to Snowmass in 10 years.”

The Westin Snowmass Resort, formerly The Silvertree, will feature the full suite of Westin signature amenities. The property includes 254 rooms and 17 suites with slopeside views. The resort's brand new 237-seat restaurant—The Snowmass Kitchen—will offer all-day dining with easy ski-in/ski-out access. A first-class spa facility and a brand-new WestinWORKOUT® fitness center will overlook Snowmass Village. The resort's upper pool will be redeveloped into a landscaped space ideally suited for outdoor events, and the lower pool will be rebuilt to include two spacious hot tubs.

Located adjacent to the Westin is the new Wildwood Snowmass, formerly the Wildwood Lodge, featuring 153 completely renovated rooms including six themed suites. The Wildwood Canteen, a new 90-seat restaurant, replaces the existing Village Steakhouse and will serve breakfast daily. The New Belgium Bar at Wildwood will be a New Belgium Brewing-themed bar with an eclectic menu and a hip, fun atmosphere. The Wildwood's pool area will be totally overhauled and complemented by a retro poolside snack shack. Renowned American fashion designer Steven Alan is designing key elements of the Wildwood's soft goods, including hotel accessories, staff uniforms and retail merchandise.

Also part of the Westin/Wildwood construction project is the New Belgium Ranger Station, located on the Snowmass Mall, just steps from the slopes. The pub will serve a lunch and dinner menu developed by The Westin Snowmass Resort and new Snowmass Kitchen Chef de Cuisine, Jami Flatt. The menu will be designed to pair with New Belgium's signature beers and seasonal craft brews.

While construction of the two properties is well under way, renovations to the new Westin Snowmass Conference Center are complete. The conference center offers 18,100 square feet of state-of-the-art meeting space in one of the country's premier mountain resorts.

“The Westin Snowmass Conference Center is the perfect location for meetings of up to 1,200 people,” explains Tim Johnson, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Westin Snowmass Resort. “Just steps from world class ski slopes in the winter and spectacular hiking and biking trails in the summer, our conference center is the perfect place to combine business and recreation.”

Upgrades to the conference center in Snowmass include a completely new lighting system, new carpeting, wall coverings, a new audio visual system, exterior paint, new ceiling tile and signage. The restrooms have been completely refinished and new artwork has been added throughout. The Westin Snowmass Conference Center has already hosted several groups this summer since renovations were completed in June.
