Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa to Undergo a Thorough Transformation

LEXINGTON, Ky., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Explore a new breed of excellence among Lexington lodging as Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa begins expansive renovations this December. From upgraded guest room furnishings to revitalized corridors, this unique Kentucky Bluegrass resort will become thoroughly energized, reimagined and transformed.

Located just minutes from the Lexington, Kentucky Horse Park and rolling Kentucky hills, Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa is a premier resort offering unparalleled service as an urban retreat.

While the entire renovation will be completed during a three-year period, phase one is scheduled to be finished in April. Phase one consists of a $5 million investment into the guest rooms and corridors, including new carpeting, stylish accents, such as vinyl, head boards, desks and lighting, Tempur-Pedic® mattresses, and new patio furniture. In addition, technology enhancements, including wireless Internet access, HD TVs, MP3 players and video connectivity, modern bathroom amenities and locally inspired artwork will deliver the full combination of contemporary style and horse country charm.

The rest of the deluxe enhancements to begin in late 2013 include a completely reimaged lobby featuring the new MI Greatroom, restaurant and bar and renovated meeting space. It's a winner-take-all approach to creating the perfect Lexington destination.
