TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Park Hotels & Resorts Inc.

“We are thrilled with the enhancements made to this iconic hotel, and the up-branding should help to solidify the hotel’s position as one of the preeminent resorts and meeting platforms in Santa Barbara. The renovations and repositioning were designed to meet the needs of today’s business and leisure travelers while paying respect to the resort’s rich history, stunning location and the unique culture of Santa Barbara,” said Thomas J. Baltimore, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Park Hotels & Resorts.
