hotel reno smAs of November 2020, the Town & Country Resort and Conference Center has fully completed their $90 million transformation, and eagerly awaits our return. They have renovated everything from top-to-bottom and have introduced of a host of new resort amenities.
 
This massive renovation includes new modern guest rooms and meeting spaces, and three new dining outlets including ARLO, its signature stand-alone destination restaurant serving up innovative scratchmade dishes inspired by regional flavors. Lapper is the resort’s poolside bar and eatery, and MRKT is an elevated fast-casual concept with grab-and-go offerings. The property also has a new Lobby Bar offering shared bites, inventive drinks and signature cocktails in a fun mid-century modern lounge.
 
The resort’s renovation has created an outdoor oasis with the addition of a 10,000 square foot pool complex complete with a zero-entry family pool, hot tub, children’s pool, and a four-story “Twister” waterslide, as well as a brand-new, three-acre Riverfront Park and state-of-the art penthouse fitness center.
 
I visited in early October, and can tell you it looks amazingly beautiful. You can view a slideshow of my hotel renovation photos, and I encourage you to visit the hotel's website and Facebook page for more details.
