ANN ARBOR, MI. May 4, 2016 - Weber's, an Ann Arbor landmark, has completed a $2 million renovation of its 158 guest rooms and suites. Featuring numerous technology-related upgrades, this initiative completes the current phase of an ongoing reinvestment philosophy.

Prior to this, Weber's, which was founded by Herman Weber in 1937 as a restaurant before the hotel was added, made a $4 million update to its ballrooms, lobby, pool and exterior façade.

“We are incredibly pleased with the results,” said Ken Weber, president of Weber's. “Our guests have enjoyed the added features and clean design. This is in keeping with my late father's philosophy that the property must be continually improved and upgraded long before anyone outside our organization perceives a need for it.”

To start, each room now has a bright appearance with the addition of blues and whites brought in through furniture and new paint; contemporary case goods; and updated carpet. In addition, guests are enjoying black and white photographs of local landmarks; Amari Rattan Lounge Chairs and Ottomans by Janus et Cie®, which are normally found in the luxury suites of New York City and Las Vegas; high-end Simmons Hospitality Bedding with the Felicity Recharge Euro Top EverNU® feature; and ample plug-ins and charging stations.

Many of the bathrooms have had the most drastic updates with the addition of floor-to-ceiling Italian porcelain, custom built showers with tiled benches, sliding glass barn doors, 'dazzling rainfall showers™' with GROHE showerheads and “musical mirrors.”

Also known as Vive mirrors, which are produced by the Electric Mirror Company, “musical mirrors” use a Bluetooth device attached to the back of the mirror to pipe music from the guest's musical library on their phone through to Bose speakers installed in the ceiling. Users control the power and volume simply by touching the mirror in certain areas.

“Being located in a prominent tech town, we made a commitment to install the highest technological upgrades, especially the 'musical mirrors,' in our larger rooms. We are one of the only hotels in the country to offer this feature in non-suites,” said Weber. “Highly-skilled clientele looking to stay in Ann Arbor are not likely to find another property that will appeal to their needs and wants.”

Added Michael Weber, vice president of hotel operations, “As a successful family-run, independent, full-service hotel, we continuously reinvest to maintain a competitive edge with the chains. We concentrate on improving our one-of-a-kind business rather than adding new locations. It is the mindset of how we operate.”

Recently, Weber's was ranked among the best hotels in the country by CollegeRank.net and the world by Expedia.com.
