The story
|
When the hotel was placed on the market in 2018, Opal Hospitality looked at the surrounding market and saw a key opportunity to create something valuable and unique. At the time, the hotel was a large and underutilized space sitting on a golden location with phenomenal views and access to the St. John’s core. |
The Vision
|
Opal Hospitality sought to create a unique boutique hotel reflective of St. John’s community culture. We envisioned design elements that reflected the local community, combining class and comfort, to create feelings of warmth and welcome as soon as someone walks into the lobby. |
What Opal Executed
|
Once purchased, repositioning of the asset began, the hotel was renovated, and the Opal vision was executed. Opal created inviting and open communal spaces where people want to linger due to touches like comfortable seating, laptop-friendly table heights, and a large fireplace. We capitalized on the property’s phenomenal surroundings by ensuring views and the infusion of local culture were top priorities. The finished product opened as a DoubleTree by Hilton in June 2020, and Opal Hospitality proudly invites guests to discover the unique experience the hotel offers. |
