Four Points by Sheraton Biloxi Beach Boulevard is scheduled for Thursday, July 1, 2010.
The Four Points by Sheraton Biloxi Beach Boulevard represents a significant investment in the future of the Mississippi Gulf Coast in the midst of a troubled national economy. While generating 80 jobs for Biloxi, it is also one of the very few hotels to open since Hurricane Katrina in 2007. The hotel’s central Biloxi location provides immediate access to the restored beach, the famed Beau Rivage and Hard Rock Hotel casinos, numerous area golf courses and the Gulfport/Biloxi International Airport.
Here are a couple photos from my last trip in May.
This great news for Gulfport, Biloxi and the Gulf Coast. There hasn’t been anywhere near as many hotel rooms available since Katrina hit. And we all know that on busy weekend the casino hotel room rates can get pretty steep and they sell out fast. It can be hard to get a room on the coast! It is good to see another hotel opened!
Nearly three years after Hurricane Katrina’s devastation along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, the Courtyard(R) by Marriott(R) Gulfport — located at 1600 East Beach Boulevard in Gulfport — has opened as the coast’s premier beachfront hotel and meetings destination. The upscale property was to have begun its transformation on August 29, 2005, the day the hurricane reached land.
The Courtyard by Marriott Gulfport, converted from the independent Gulfport Beachfront Hotel, boasts a multi-million dollar renovation with fully refurbished guestrooms and the largest meeting and event facilities within a non-casino hotel on the Gulf Coast. Located among 26 miles of pristine beach along the Gulf of Mexico, the hotel is seven miles from
downtown Biloxi and minutes from the Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport, Gulfport businesses, recreation, championship golf, casinos and nightlife. It is owned by Gulfview LLC and managed by Lane Hospitality of Northbrook, IL.
BILOXI, Mississippi — As reported by the Sun Herald: “The countdown is on to New Year’s Eve at Coast casinos, where high rollers will be entertained at posh parties and other guests will celebrate the occasion with complimentary champagne toasts and balloon drops on casino floors.
