ALEXANDRIA, VA, March 5, 2012—Davidson Hotels & Resorts, one of the nation’s largest independent hotel management companies, today announced that the 496-room Hilton Alexandria Mark Center (top left photo) in historic Alexandria, Va., has completed a multi-million dollar renovation.
Davidson has managed the hotel since June 2005 and oversaw the renovation project, designed by Paradigm Design Group of Cypress, Texas. The hotel is owned by a private investment fund advised by Crow Holdings Capital Partners, L.L.C.
“In this market, it is particularly important that a hotel of this stature remain in top condition,” said Patrick Lupsha (middle right photo), Davidson’s chief operating officer.
“All guest rooms were totally renovated last summer, and we’ve now completed an update of the lobby and meeting spaces to bring the areas that impact the guest experience to ‘like new’ condition. We are confident that the significant capital investment will enable this landmark hotel to retain its dominant position in this part of the Washington D.C. market.”
The Hilton Alexandria Mark Center’s 55,000 square feet of meeting space was enhanced with new carpet, wall and window coverings and regional artwork. The lobby was redesigned to encourage guests to recharge themselves and their laptops and cell phones, using a soothing palette of blues, neutral tones and warm wood accents that give the public spaces a timeless, elegant feel.
“Because of its proximity to the Pentagon and Old Town Alexandria, guests at this hotel expect a level of historic charm and modern convenience that is sometimes a challenge to balance,” said Charlie Banta (lower left photo), general manager. “Paradigm Design did an outstanding job of blending old and new in a sophisticated, classically dramatic way.”
