Chattanoogan work nearly done
The Chattanoogan, Chattanooga's only AAA Four Diamond-rated hotel, is finalizing $700,000 of renovations to its 25,000 square-foot conference facilities.
The refurbishment, originally budgeted to cost $954,000, represents the first major upgrade of the convention facilities since the city-owned hotel opened downtown in April 2001.
Tom Cupa, general manager, said the upgrade includes new carpet and wallcoverings; a new glass tile entry wall; recovering of acoustical wall panels; replacing upholstered seating; updating the refreshment island; enhancing the corridor lighting; and transforming the area that housed traditional phone booths into a contemporary cyber cafe with charging stations and seating.
