Dear Guest:  Thank you for your interest in the Colony Inn. In December 2006 the hotel changed ownership and has been temporarily closed to allow for an exciting renovation and expansion. When the hotel reopens late Spring   this year  it will feature:  125 elegantly appointed guestrooms with modern, luxurious and comfortable furniture designed around a great bed with high-thread-count linens and feather pillows.  Guestrooms equipped with state-of-the-art technology and amenities including LCD televisions, Wi-Fi connectivity, iPod docking station and a large work surface.   Expanded guest bathrooms with luxurious glass showers, outfitted with premium terries and bath amenities.  Two new high-speed, top-of-the-line guest elevators.  A reconfigured and expanded “living room”, anchored by a stone fireplace and furnished with comfortable seating conducive to lounging, reading and enjoying “barista” drinks. The living room will also provide guests with abundant reading materials including a selection of international periodicals.  A new high-energy restaurant featuring world-class, contemporary cuisine in a casual but sophisticated setting with a private dinning room for special functions.  Reprogrammed meeting facilities able to accommodate several small to medium size groups and provide state-of-the-art audiovisual technology.  A modern fitness facility with cardiovascular and strength training equipment.  Valet parking in underground parking garage.  Impeccable service with an attention to detail that will make you feel at home. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you as a guest once again as we reopen our doors, so please check-in with us for periodic updates and a link to our future website.  Thank you for your previous patronage and patience during our transformation.   Sincerely,   Paul T. McGowan,   Principal   Hospitality 3 New Haven LLC
