The Lodge of Four Seasons begins a multi-million dollar renovation

Access Hotels & Resorts are pleased to announce a multi-million dollar renovation project of the famed Lodge of Four Seasons Resort located at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Renovation of the property will include remodeling all guest rooms including replacement of all exterior sliding doors and the addition of 55 inch televisions, updating all public areas including the entry, lobby, restaurants, meeting rooms, atrium, hallways, exterior building enhancements, including the main swimming pool, roadways and sidewalks plus the replacement of the heating and cooling systems.

Butler Rosenbury and Partners, a premier architectural firm headquartered in Springfield, MO has been selected to design and guide the remodeling project. David L. Hess, AIA with Butler, Rosenbury said, "We are pleased to have been selected as the architect to design and guide the remodeling of one of the most historic and famous resorts in Missouri." Work has already begun on the development and design phases. Architectural renderings will be displayed in the lobby as they become available.

Matchline Design Group in Dallas, Texas is a top designer for hotels and resorts, restaurants, and corporate offices, and has been selected as the interior decorator. Lesley Hughes Wyman, Principal/Partner of the firm said, "We intend to reinvigorate the Lodge with a warm and inviting palette that brings a fresh, yet still comfortable atmosphere. Updated finishes, furnishings and lighting will draw from the natural surroundings as inspiration to create a modern, approachable aesthetic without comprising the familiarity of the property that guests have come to know and love throughout the years."

Tom Baker, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Principal of Access Hotels & Resort added, "We are excited to have this opportunity to oversee the extensive remodeling program to improve and enhance the resort property, taking it to the next level and maintaining the resort as the destination resort at the Lake of the Ozarks."

Additional details of this renovation will be announced as plans are finalized.
