The property now shines as the premier location for corporate meetings, business and leisure travel in Connecticut's largest city. The Bridgeport hotel upgraded all of the 200+ upscale guest rooms and suites and installed an inviting new main entry with granite and glass features, which lends to the grand, modern feeling of this jewel in the heart of Bridgeport's downtown revitalization. "Every room has been redesigned to provide the ultimate guest experience and we have rededicated ourselves to providing the best customer service in Connecticut," explained Ernest C. Trefz, co-owner. Congressman Jim Himes stated, "I'm so proud of the Trefz family, their superb renovation of the Holiday Inn and all that they do to make Bridgeport the vibrant city it should be." "The Trefz family takes pride in providing the best hotel experience for visitors to Bridgeport. Their hotel serves as the front-door to the City and we appreciate their continued commitment to enhancing the image of the Park City," said Mayor Bill Finch. Significant renovations to this modern 210 room Fairfield County hotel include a complete upgrade to all guestrooms and suites featuring soothing brown and beige tones with midnight blue trim, rich wood flooring in the entries, handsome wall coverings, and warm mahogany surfaced furniture. Guests may unwind by enjoying complimentary CNN, HBO and ESPN on new 37" flat panel televisions. The bathrooms are designed to create an inviting spa-like atmosphere, complete with a mahogany topped vanity, sleek chrome fixtures, a curved shower curtain rod and a revitalizing shower head. Complimentary amenities include a hair dryer and a variety of bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body lotions. The hotel is committed to the preservation of environmental resources and promotes eco-friendly laundering options for guest linens. The luxurious guest beds have expanded leather headboards and mahogany nightstands and feature a deluxe bedding package with a Serta Perfect Sleeper® mattress, high quality pure cotton linens and a choice of down feather or foam pillows. Other in-room amenities include individual climate control, a full length mirror, coffee maker with tea service, and a mini-refrigerator. The hotel has been redesigned to accommodate the needs of both families and business travelers. With spacious work desks, ergonomic office chairs, desk level electrical outlets, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an on-site state-of-the-art 24-hour Business Center, guests traveling on business will have all the amenities needed to stay connected. The indoor, heated swimming pool, featuring a spectacular retractable roof, has been completely refitted with new lounge furniture and slip resistant flooring. A new in-house coin operated laundry and redesigned elevators add another level of convenience to this full-service luxury facility. The Park City Grill offers full service dining featuring a new Continental American menu, including the Holiday Inn Best-4-Breakfast program as well as lunch and dinner. Room service Right On Time is available from 7:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. With 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, the Bridgeport Holiday Inn and Conference Center is the perfect venue for corporate meetings and retreats, weddings, family reunions, fundraisers, and social gatherings. The Fitness Center has doubled in size and features Life Fitness equipment including two treadmills, one elliptical machine, a shoulder press, a triceps extension, and a bicep curl. Additionally, the Center offers an elliptical and Stairmaster by Arc Trainer and a Pacific Fitness Cross Trainer Station. New shower rooms and flat screen televisions throughout compliment this bright, airy space. The Bridgeport Holiday Inn and Conference Center is proud to be included in the Holiday Inn's national re-launch program. The final phase of this complete multi-million dollar renovation included interior and exterior finishing touches including new Holiday Inn signage, an updated rear entryway, an exterior lighting package featuring an elegant chandelier and modern up and down can lights, exterior seating areas and plantings, and an upgraded front desk. Restrooms on the main level have been remodeled with granite countertops, chrome fixtures and meet ADA accessibility requirements. The jewel of the final renovations is "Blue Martini," offering a sleek, sophisticated space perfect for cocktails with co-workers or an intimate dinner á deux. Blue Martini was given a contemporary new look by world renowned architect Jean Baptiste Ducruet, principal at Atmosphere Design in Westport, Connecticut. His restaurant designs may be seen in fine dining establishments such as Little Kitchen in Westport, Barcelona in Fairfield and West Hartford, and Kazu in South Norwalk. In addition, Baptiste Ducruet has designed upscale retail space for Chanel, Tiffany & Co. and Lillian August. His spin on the hotel's newly imagined "Blue Martini" lounge includes elegant cherry millwork, decorative contemporary lighting and multiple flat screen televisions. Blue Martini offers light fare throughout the day and for dinner with names paying homage to its host city, such as the "Bridgeportabello," a marinated portabello mushroom topped with bacon and gorgonzola cheese and the "Park City Club," a grilled chicken, Virginia ham and Monterey jack cheese delight piled atop a European style baguette. The menu also features a variety of playfully named fare referencing the lounge's "blue" theme including "Blue Ravies," fried jumbo cheese raviolis stuffed with three cheeses with a roasted plum tomato and garlic dipping sauce and "Blue Barbies," three mini sandwiches featuring dry rubbed, slow roasted pork and a zesty barbeque sauce. Innovative drink specials like the signature "THE Blue Martini" and "The Bartender Hates You" make this new lounge in the heart of downtown the ideal place to unwind after work, meet friends and business associates for happy hour, before or after the theater, symphony, or events at the Arena at Harbor Yard. The Bridgeport Holiday Inn and Conference Center, which offers free, secure parking to guests, is only an hour from New York City, located conveniently near I-95, Routes 15, 8 and 25, and a short walk from the train station offering access to Metro North commuter rail and Amtrak, the new bus terminal, and the Port Jefferson Ferry.
