Hotel getting a new look, name

Radisson sinking $6 million into revamping Inn at The Falls

Ted Buss

The commitment was made on paper more than a year ago, but the big maroon letters that spell RADISSON signal the beginning of a new era for the former Sheraton and Inn at The Falls.

With new logos in place, the $6 million reconstruction at the Wichita Falls Radisson Hotel is now in full tilt, and management has pinpointed mid-August for its official unveiling. The $6 million is the largest sum dedicated to hotel improvement since the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites poured more than $4.5 million into its rebuilding project in 1994.

Radisson actually took over the hotel from Four Points Sheraton nearly two years ago, but construction only got off the ground within the past few months.

However, management said the delay will be worth it.

The outside of the hotel, with the exception of a half-dozen coats of corporate paint and new nameplates, will not change greatly in appearance. However, the inside of the building is a different story.

“Nothing will be the same,” said Jose Cruz, business and events coordinator. “It has been stripped down to a shell and everything will be new and different from top to bottom. We will have one of the finest hotels in the area once we are finished.”

All 167 rooms will be fashioned in Radisson’s prototype colors and decor. The sixth floor will be reserved as executive suites. Each room, according to general manager Colin Knight, will be remodeled at the tune of about $20,000 each.

Cruz said the hotel is also installing a $120,000 computer system that is directly linked to Radisson’s communications center in Nebraska. The objective is to allow regular Radisson customers the ability to lock in the exact style of room they prefer when traveling across the country.

But the hotel structure itself will feature the most obvious changes.

“Our lobby, club, restaurant and pool areas are down to a shell right now,” he said, “and we are redesigning everything. People who have visited the hotel in the past won’t recognize it as the same place.

“Structurally, the lobby, club and restaurant will take on a new look. The hotel will be fresh and bright and open. We want it to be warm and comfortable for our guests.”

The lobby will be dominated by marble and granite, and the hotel will offer a banquet hall that will comfortably seat up to 500, theater-style, and 400 for banquet occasions.

Year-Long Construction Promises To Be Well Worth It

Ted Buss

Colin Knight, the general manager of the new Wichita Falls Radisson promises Premier Hospitality Inc.’s $6 million commitment at the troubled former Sheraton and Inn at the Falls will make the delays worthwhile.

The $6 million is the largest sum dedicated to hotel renovation here since Holiday Inn poured more than $4.5 million into its project in 1994. Knight said the renovated Radisson will be a hotel showplace, from the marble floors in the lobby and the 164 new $20,000 suites, to the expanded pool, club, outdoor patio and amphitheater.

Knight, who came here from a Dallas Radisson, will lead the hotel into a new era when the chain’s flagship banner goes up and the doors open this summer – on or about July 4.

“This is the worst (hotel) in our chain,” he said, “but it will be the best.”

And if anyone is skeptical because of the numerous delays in redevelopment, Knight said he certainly understands. “But it is happening as we speak and this hotel will be one our entire community can be proud of.

“I can understand how all the delays could create question marks, but we are moving now and the job will be done quickly, and done first class. Radisson is primarily a business person’s hotel, and that theme will continue. However, we will be creating a recreational venue for the city.”

The hotel is currently installing a $120,000 computer system that is linked to the Radisson communications center in Nebraska. Frequent Radisson guests who are accustomed to certain accommodations will find the same treatment “in New York City or Wichita Falls, Texas,” he said.

The banquet halls are being remodeled along with a restaurant, a bar, a business center, an elegant lobby and a nightclub that caters to the 25-to-50 age market. The pool area will feature cabana huts and a tropical setting and the hotel is making a significant investment in landscaping.

“We want to amplify our surroundings,” said Knight. “We are set in one of the most scenic areas (the Falls) in the city and we need to take advantage of it. We need to bridge our hotel with the beautiful Falls and walking trails and this is where our outdoors landscaping, patio and pool area comes in.

“We want people, not just hotel guests, to be able to come, sit outside, have a cocktail or nice dinner and enjoy the evening. This hotel is built for the business traveler, but we also want it to be conducive to entertainment. We want to create functions and give people a reason to use the hotel for anything from board meetings to outdoor concerts.”

Knight said the nameplate should go up in three months and the hotel could be ready in June, but it will definitely be on board by July 4.
