Hotel Construction, Notes from the GM, Uncategorized

We’re so excited about our beautiful hotel opening in Bridgeport Village that we couldn’t resist posting some pictures of the construction.  Here are a few shots:

Grand Hotel at Bridgeport - Front Exterior

This shot shows the exterior of the building from SW Hazel Fern Road, the street that is being lengthened to reach the hotel.  For those of you familiar with  Bridgeport Village Shopping, this is the street that leads directly into the shopping area past PF Chang’s.   Directly behind the photographer is Noah’s Bagels, Starbucks,  and a great sushi restaurant called Sushi Land.  A few of us managers ate there the other day and I think they’ll get to know us by name shortly.

Grand Hotel at Bridgeport - Left Side

From the left side you can see that the hotel will be four stories.  This is the view  standing at the Claim Jumper restaurant in Tualatin looking across SW Lower Boones Ferry Road.  We are very excited about the hotel’s location because not only is it an ideal location for easy access to shopping and eating, but it is also very easily accessible via Interstate 5.  Business travelers will have quick and easy access to the hotel from virtually any business in the area.

Grand Hotel at Bridgeport - Lobby-to-be

This is the lobby as you walk into the front doors of the hotel.  The front desk is off to the left (under the gray beam) and the gift shop is directly next to it on the right.  You can see the beginnings of the balcony that will overlook the lobby.  Underneath the balcony is the entrance to the hallway where guests will access guest suites, pool, workout room and the executive board room.  To the right (between the scissor lifts), you can make out the entrance to our meeting room.

These are a few of my favorite shots.  Please check back with us soon!  We will also be updating our pictures at flickr on a regular basis at http://www.flickr.com/photos/grandhotelbridgeport/.
