The 12-story, 256-room Renaissance Hotel on Bluebonnet Boulevard will open Monday, the hotel announced today. The 206,000-square-foot hotel features a fully equipped fitness center, a courtyard-style outdoor pool with water and fire features, and 13,000 square feet of meeting space including a 7,500-square-foot ballroom. Also included are 28 VIP Club Level rooms and 63 luxury hotel suites. The hotel has been developed from the partially completed Jimmy Swaggart Ministries dorm that had sat as a vacant eyesore for years. Work on the hotel started in 2007, but the project was put on hold until last year due to the recession. The Renaissance was developed and is owned by Baton Rouge-based Wampold Companies, and will be managed by Memphis-based Davidson Hotels & Resorts, whose portfolio includes 48 upscale, full-service independent and branded hotels across the country.
