Guestroom Renovations Underway for 73-key Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort in Solvang, California
Solvang, CA - December 10, 2013 - Alisal Guest Ranch & Resort is proud to unveil plans for renovated guestrooms slated for completion in May 2014. The most recent groundbreaking began in October, and marks the second major addition to the guestrooms at the nearly 70-year-old working cattle ranch.
Last March, Alisal finished renovations of 12 pool suites adding an approximate 70 square feet to the main bathrooms including new tile flooring, lighting and fixtures. The newly renovated suites boast a wide range of updates, while maintaining the Western flair that guests have become accustomed to.
Alisal began renovating 20 of the original units on the property, located adjacent to the Ranch Course. This project will continue over the next 18 months.
"We could not be happier that we can renovate the 'Golf Row' guestrooms," says General Manager David Lautensack. "At Alisal we feel it is important maintain the integrity of the resort while, at the same time we want to listen to our guests' recommendations. We recognize that guest needs and preferences are changing and we want to stay current while still providing the guest room features that differentiate the Alisal from other high-end resorts."
The Alisal Guestroom Renovations include:
• New solid cord doors
• Double-pane windows
• Sound proofing
• Custom tiled shower with glass panels
