Cranston, Rhode Island-based real estate developer/hotelier, The Procaccianti Group (TPG), announced the opening of The Westin Tysons Corner in Falls Church, Virginia. Formerly a Doubletree Hotel, The Westin Tysons Corner has undergone a comprehensive $21 million dollar renovation of all guest rooms and public areas as part of its conversion. The property is owned and managed by The Procaccianti Group, under a long-term franchise agreement with Starwood, Westin's parent company.

"Tysons Corner is a model location for our (TPG's) continued expansion of the Westin brand throughout our national hospitality portfolio," said Robert Leven, Chief Investment Officer of The Procaccianti Group. "We are pleased with the results of our renovation investment and are confident they will have a positive impact on the property."

Ideally located in the heart of Northern Virginia's business district, The Westin Tyson's Corner offers convenient access to the Washington D.C. metro area and to Dulles International and Reagan National airports. The hotel is less than one mile from Route 66 and close to premier dining and shopping venues at the Tysons Corner Center and Tysons Galleria, both of which are accessible via a complimentary shuttle.

"The Westin Tysons Corner further strengthens Westin's growing domestic portfolio, particularly in the country's top tourist destinations," said Sue Brush, senior vice president, Westin Hotels & Resorts. "The instinctive service and focus on personal renewal of the Westin brand is a perfect complement to the energy and excitement of the Washington D.C. metro area."

The extensive renovations to The Westin Tysons Corner include upgrades to its 408 guest rooms and to the hotel's 14,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space. The renovations also include upgrades to the Blue Fire Grille restaurant and the Blue Fire Lounge, the Westin WORKOUT Powered by Reebok fitness center and the pool.
