The latest phase of renovation work at the Hamilton Princess & Beach Club is expected to create 100 new jobs.

The third stage of the $100 million project will begin early next month and will generate nearly 100 construction jobs over a six-month period.

“We are eager to continue work on our major renovation project this November,” said Allan Federer, the general manager. “Guests love the changes that we have made to the property so far and the additional work that is planned for the third phase will continue to bring dramatic changes to the property.

“Similar to the two previous phases, our guests will not only be able to continue to stay at the hotel with minimal disruption, but also to enjoy the world-class amenities that earlier renovations have provided.”

This third and final phase of the project will incorporate a new spa with indoor and outdoor space, a gym with updated lap pool, a new retail corridor, a large outdoor terrace for the Trudeau Ballroom, a new Gold Lounge and the remodelling of the Gold Wing suites.

Three new retail zones covering 7,000 square feet will mean more space for additional shops, improved store frontage and a wider corridor. The roof of the new retail space will become a 2,000 sq ft terrace with views of the harbour.

The eleven Gold Wing suites will receive floor-to-ceiling upgrades, including furniture, fixtures, equipment, wireless internet, audio/visual features, decor and new bathrooms.

“Additional upgrades throughout the hotel include fresh new furniture in the lobby, AC unit upgrades in various areas throughout the property, additional guest room enhancements and a new bathroom block near the Trudeau Ballroom,” the hotel said in a statement.

The renovations are due to be completed in time for the summer 2016 tourist season.
