Loews Hotels & Resorts announced that it has agreed to purchase the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel on June 16, 2012. The property, Loews Hollywood Hotel, will remain open while undergoing a $26-million renovation. The hotel has 600 guestrooms, 32 suites, and more than 48,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel's spa, pool terrace, restaurant and event space will be upgraded with special local touches that make it one of the Loews Hotels. Wolfgang Puck Catering will remain a partner with Loews in the operation of the 25,000-square-foot ballroom located in the Hollywood & Highland Center complex. "We continually look to enhance our uniquely local guest experiences through our style of comfortable luxury and genuine service combined with properties in the best locations," said Jonathan Tisch, chairman of Loews Hotels. "The Loews Hollywood Hotel embodies the essence of Los Angeles and the addition of our signature services and upgraded amenities will match the energy and vibrant culture of Hollywood."
