By GlobalDataThe initial phase of Rio’s transformation has introduced a redesigned 1,500-room Ipanema Tower, capturing the essence of Rio de Janeiro with its colourful aesthetic.
It also included the launch of six unique culinary experiences within the new Canteen Food Hall, 220,000ft² of refreshed meeting and convention area, and an updated pool district featuring four pools.
The resort’s revamped casino floor can now accommodate more than 500 new slot machines and 30 table games.
Rio Hotel & Casino president and CEO Patrick Miller said: “Rio’s Destination by Hyatt brand affiliation marks an exciting new chapter for our resort through our progressive evolution.
“We’ve not only re-energised the resort’s design and experience, but we’ve proudly honoured its legacy as a quintessential Las Vegas icon, providing World of Hyatt members and global travellers with even more ways to immerse themselves in our destination’s fun, energetic and eclectic atmosphere.”
Looking ahead, phase two of the renovation will concentrate on a complete redesign of the Masquerade Tower guest rooms and public areas.
