Condo Hotel Experts

The Chateau at Heavenly Village Lake Tahoe introduced their soon to be built 4 star condo hotel to the general public in great fanfare on a beautiful sunny day with a who’s who of Lake Tahoe in attendance.  Among the distinguished guests were the Mayor, city council members, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency members, numerous notable families from the area, and of course, the all-star team behind the new development. 

It was the perfect setting to officially kick off the news about the new hotel and the ownership opportunity.  The occasion was marked by great music, lively conversations, and a sense of great anticipation.

The public’s response to the Chateau at Heavenly Village is not what one would have necessarily expected.  The various government agencies and planning commissions of Lake Tahoe are notorious for being anti-development.  To see them throwing their support behind the Chateau at Heavenly Village speaks volumes about the quality of the future hotel.

There was a time not so long ago when South Lake Tahoe was considered to be secondary to North Lake Tahoe.  Much of it was marked by low end hotels and gift shops.  This all changed about a decade ago when Vail Resorts, the company that owns Vail and Heavenly ski resorts, decided to give South Lake Tahoe a much needed face lift. 

They created Heavenly Village.  This large-scale development transformed South Lake Tahoe and Heavenly ski resort into a truly stunning and luxurious vacation destination.  They introduced high-end lodging, world class dining, and retail shops and boutiques fitting for such a beautiful oasis.  Had Vail Resorts stopped there, it certainly would have been enough.  But, they had other plans!

Vail Resorts is now set to take South Lake Tahoe to the next level in sophistication.  They are introducing a massive $400 million redevelopment project entailing two luxury condo hotels, a 50,000 square foot convention center, a 16,000 square foot spa, a 1.5 acre park, and a collection of shops and restaurants.  Building one is being released this winter.

The Chateau is ideally located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, directly across from the gondola at Heavenly Village.  Guests have immediate access to the ski slopes, beaches, and hiking trails.  Guests are also within immediate walking distance to casino nightlife and entertainment.

 The Chateau’s first condo hotel will rise 6 stories and have over 200 fully furnished, luxury mountain-style hotel suites.  The building will primarily consist of studios and one bedrooms.  A few 2 and 3 bedrooms will also be available.  Suite sizes will range from 400 square feet to 2000 + square feet.   

Owners and visitors to The Chateau at Heavenly Village will experience:

• Walking distance proximity to Skiing, Beaches, and Casinos
• 16,000 sq. ft. spa
• Fitness Center
• Heated pool
• 50,000 sq. ft. convention center
• 21,000 sq. ft. meeting facilities
• Pedestrian overpass to gondola at Heavenly Village
• 1.5 acre park
• World class dining
• Retail shops
• Underground parking
• Private business center

 The Chateau at Heavenly Village will likely start getting national attention in the coming months as they unleash their marketing blitz and ski season rolls around.  In case you were wondering, the place won’t be open until 2009, so you’ve got plenty of time before you need make your reservations.  But, if you actually want to own a suite, you’d better act fast.  The suites are going to be sold this spring and most likely they’ll all be snapped up the first day that they are made available.

Let the madness begin all over again! Resale activity for the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is just starting to heat up. Most heard about the Hard Rock last year when the property shattered nearly every single real estate record in San Diego history. The Hard Rock sold all of their available suites in about 7 hours. Hundreds of persons who had put in a reservation to purchase had to be turned away. Making this even more shocking is the fact that this occurred at a time when the San Diego real estate market was in a downturn.

This spoke volumes about the strength of the Hard Rock brand and the intelligence behind the condo hotel concept.

Fortunately for many who got shut out last year, this amazing property is again available to the general public. The Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is ready for operation and the resale action is in full swing. A handful of the original purchasers who bought in the preconstruction phase are now making their suites available for purchase.

The Hard Rock Hotel is San Diego’s only 4 star branded condo hotel. You can chill out in a cabana by the rooftop pool. Nosh on Asian fusion at Nobu. Skip the line into the newest of Rande Gerber’s ultra lounges and bars. Sample LA’s hottest gourmet yogurt at Pinkberry or choose Maryjane’s for your favorite comfort foods. It’s life behind the velvet ropes and you’re invited.

Other amenities include:

· Landscaped rooftop pool deck
· Outdoor music venue that can accommodate up to 2000
· Intimate indoor music venue that can accommodate up to 800
· World-class, full service Rock Spa
· 40,000 sq ft. indoor and outdoor meeting space
· 9000 sq ft main event room that accommodates up to 1000 guests
· Fitness center

Suites range from studios to Rock Star suites. The studios are luxurious and spacious and come with rock and roll artwork and a wet bar filled with the finest liquors. It’s the ultimate place to chill out, share a cocktail, and feel good about life. The rock star suites are on another level entirely. Some come with fireplaces and Jacuzzis. A handful of the Rock Star suites even come with outdoor patios that are larger than your average apartment.

So, if you are interested in getting in on the VIP list and would like to consider purchasing at the hottest spot in town, you can now do so. One site that allows you to view all of the available suites is PremiumCondoHotels.com To take a look at what’s currently available, check out: http://www.premiumcondohotels.com/pages/hard-rock-hotel-san-diego.php

The properties will likely be snapped up quickly, considering that many people were not able to purchase in the preconstruction stage. And now that hundreds of guests will be spending the night and falling in love with the Hard Rock VIP experience, one can only imagine that the demand will grow even more.

The Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs introduced their soon to be built 4 star condo hotel to the general public at the Taste of Newport this past weekend.

The Taste of Newport was the perfect setting to kick off the news about the new hotel and the ownership opportunity. The place was rocking with great music, everyone was eating and drinking their fill, and good times were being had all around.

The public’s response to the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs was what one would have expected. All were very happy to see the Hard Rock, known for their trend setting cool, to be setting their sights upon the oasis in the desert.

There was a time when Palm Springs was the ultimate escape for America’s royalty – the Hollywood elite and the stars of radio. Those days have long been gone, but the Hard Rock could very well change all of that. If the past is any indication of the future, it’s not a leap of the imagination to think that the who’s who of tinsel town and the rock gods will once again call Palm Springs their new favorite resort destination once the planned 4 star resort hotel is operational and rocking.

The Hard Rock is planning on introducing a hotel of legendary stature in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. It will come complete with a 100,000 square foot pool, a night club operated by the people behind Pure nightclub in Vegas, a massive spa facility, and of course, the requisite recording studio for visiting rock stars to cut some tracks. Not to mention, the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs will also have a high-end steakhouse, sushi restaurant, and there have even been rumors of a pink berry.

The hotel is being offered as a condo hotel, so anyone willing to put down a bit of cash can own a suite at the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs and be treated to a VIP experience that would make just about anyone envious.

As most people in southern California are aware of, the Hard Rock released their first condo hotel in San Diego last year. The building sold out the first 6 hours that they were made available to the public. This broke just about every real estate record in San Diego. If the folks behind the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs have anything to do about it, they’ll replicate that success and then some later this spring when they go to sale.

In case you were wondering, the place won’t be open until 2010, so you’ve got plenty of time before you need to perfect your tan, grab your shades, and head for the desert. But, if you actually want to own a suite out there, you’d better act fast. The suites are going to be sold this spring and most likely they’ll all be snapped up the first day that they are made available.
