Hagadone Hospitality on Thursday received feedback from Coeur d'Alene's Design Review Commission and a few members of the public on the proposed 12-story tower addition to The Coeur d'Alene Resort hotel. The tower would be about 40 feet wide and start on Sherman Avenue, running roughly 260 feet south and connecting to the existing parking structure. An additional floor would be added to the parking facility at The Resort. "It's important, as owner-operator, that the new tower feel as if it’s part of the hotel," said John Barlow, who is managing the project for Hagadone Hospitality. The addition would add 158 new guest rooms and eight guest suites on top. The new tower takes design elements from the existing resort to match the two. "The whole design goal is to feel like it's one experience," Barlow said/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
