Castle Hotel, Autograph Collection by Marriott, Case Study
Ownership engaged Elevate midway through an ongoing renovation project during a critical transition phase. To protect the budget, Elevate partnered with ownership to realign scope, schedule, and financial parameters to reflect market conditions and operational requirements. The renovation focused on transforming the hotel’s food and beverage venues and outdoor leisure areas.
The bar received custom millwork, stone bar tops and work surfaces, complete FF&E replacement, and upgraded interior finishes. An outdoor patio was added, complete with outdoor seating and dining furniture, decorative hardscape, and paving. Additionally, the hotel’s pool area was fully revitalized with new furniture and custom touches.
“The transformation reflects a strategic investment in high-impact public areas that strengthen both brand identity and revenue performance,” said Suzanne Saunders, chief elevation officer, Elevate. “We were able to work with ownership to get a complex project back on track and refine a vision that worked for everyone. We believe this collaborative approach sets us apart and benefits hotel owners who need experienced third-party management services to bring projects over the finish line.”
