Marriott to Open Revamped Renaissance Hollywood Hotel

Marriott International Inc. said the 637-room Renaissance Hollywood Hotel will open Wednesday as part of the massive Hollywood & Highland retail and entertainment complex.

The 22-story hotel, at Highland Avenue near Hollywood Boulevard, was closed in April 1999 and underwent an extensive $130-million renovation and expansion by owner TrizecHahn Corp. The Canadian real estate development company also is the owner of the adjacent Hollywood & Highland project, which opened this fall, and the recently opened Paseo Colorado shopping center in Pasadena.

The Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, the former Holiday Inn Hollywood, includes more than 50,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space and will feature a 3,500-square-foot penthouse suite.

Washington-based Marriott International, which owns the Renaissance hotel chain, is manager of the property.
