Construction of a Renaissance ClubSport hotel at Summit Office Campus in Aliso Viejo is slated to begin early next year.
The hotel is expected to open by the end of 2007. It’s part of the next phase of Parker Properties LLC’s Summit Office Campus, which includes a pair of office buildings totaling 260,000 square feet.
The hotel originally was set to open next year. Work was held up until Parker’s development plans were finalized, according to Scott Pickert, senior vice president of Renaissance ClubSport.
Renaissance’s ClubSport,part spa, fitness center and sports complex,was developed by Pleasanton-based Leisure Sports Inc., a private developer and operator of sports clubs and hotels in California, Nevada and Oregon. In September, the company sold the ClubSport unit to Marriott International Inc.
Marriott will model the Aliso Viejo ClubSport on the unit’s first complex, which opened in Walnut Creek in 2002. Pickert said the Walnut Creek location is “outpacing area hotels” in revenue per available room,a measure of profitability in the hospitality industry.
All ClubSport hotels are slated to have 150 to 250 guest rooms and a members-only fitness center.
In Aliso Viejo, the hotel will include 175 rooms, a restaurant, lounge, pool and conference space in addition to a 75,000-square-foot fitness club.
