Hotel Renovated: In a sign that the moribund business-travel market may be about to perk up, the new owners of the Airporter Inn Hotel have completed a $2-million renovation that covers all of its public areas and 212 guest rooms. The renovation of the Irvine hotel carries a salmon-and-seafoam-green color scheme and includes new gardens. The hotel was bought recently by Wang Partnership in Long Beach.
