The US$15 million renovation of the Sheraton
Bloomington hotel is now complete.
Upon entering the hotel, guests are now greeted with
illuminated registration desks in front of a dynamic, large-scale
art installation.
The lobby is also anchored by a 30-foot bar and
ten-screen video display, providing guests a full-scale Starbucks
experience during the day, and converting into a high-design bar
in the evening. As part of this, Sheraton Bloomington now offers
the brand’s new reimagined food and beverage program Paired,
comprised of artisanal small plates and eclectic bar snacks served
alongside suggested premium wines and craft beers.
The
modernization of all 282 guest rooms and suites presents a
contemporary design with multifunctional furniture pieces, LED lighting and large-screen Smart-TVs.
The transformation, designed by The Getty’s Group, also
features the introduction of an all-new Sheraton Club lounge and a
refreshed Sheraton Fitness facility.
With the addition of three
state-of-the-art meeting rooms, the Sheraton Bloomington also now
offers more than 17,000 square feet of meeting space.
Sheraton Bloomington has also added a new
restaurant with Lela, which offers guests contemporary American
cuisine rooted in classic technique. Led by executive chef John
Mullen, III, formerly of 6Smith and B.A.N.K., Lela features prime
steaks, seafood crudos and house-made pastas in a modern,
simplistic atmosphere centered around a bustling open kitchen.
“Following its expansive renovation, Sheraton
Bloomington is a great example of the brand’s new direction as we
work toward our Sheraton 2020 goal to solidify Sheraton as a leading global hotel brand of
choice, everywhere,” said Bob Jacobs, Vice President, Brand
Management Sheraton and Westin. “The hotel’s modern enhancements
and added amenities create an intuitive experience for guests,
enabling them, as a result, to experience more during their stay.”
Located on the Bloomington/Edina
business corridor, near the Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport and the Mall of America, guests of the Sheraton
Bloomington Hotel have immediate access to one of the nation’s largest
shopping complexes, Bloomington’s outdoor trails, cultural
attractions and entertainment – with Downtown Minneapolis only
being a short drive away.
