The Little Rock Marriott in downtown Little Rock, formerly the Peabody Hotel, is undergoing a $16 million renovation to its 418-room hotel.
The renovation will include all guest rooms and all public meeting and dining spaces. The property will remain open throughout the renovation, which should be completed by late summer 2014.
“Although we’ve already made some significant progress in converting to the Marriott Hotels flag, the real transformation won’t be realized until this last and final phase of renovation occurs,” said Bill Fontes, general manager. “We believe it will better position our hotel to meet the needs and demands of both business and leisure travelers seeking upscale accommodations in the area.”
The renovation includes 42-inch flat screen TVs and coffee makers in all guest rooms. Additional renovation work will include the guest registration, lobby seating area, and the lobby bar.
As part of the renovation, the hotel is implementing a new energy savings program with energy efficient CFL light bulbs, while replacing the old thermostats with digital ones.
