"We have just completed a major renovation to expand service," says Landry. "These improvements include a new formal dining room, wine bar and elegant lobby/lounge area. Also, the changes eliminated most of the smaller rooms in favor of larger more comfortable suites."

Because of the changes, guests of the hotel and its private dining club, members are now able to enjoy refined cuisine with an eclectic wine list indoors in the property's smart new dining and lounge area or on the dock with its luscious garden surroundings and stunning views across New River Sound. "The addition of Chef Youssef Hammi and these new facilities will go along way to reaching our goal of making The Pillars a destination dining venue," says Landry.
