The Royal Regency Hotel in Yonkers recently reopened as a boutique hotel following a $3 million renovation that began in early 2014.
The 88-room, family-owned hotel at 165 Tuckahoe Road reopened on Oct. 22 with redesigned rooms, suites, lobby and reception areas as well as its meetings and event spaces. New York City-based hospitality design firm Virserius Studio oversaw the redesign.
The hotel also saw a new logo and website designed by New York City-based branding and marketing consultancy Studio Tano.
Maria Pampafikos, Royal Regency co-owner and vice president, said her family, who has owned the hotel for 21 years, was “excited to see the design renderings come to life.”
“We are thrilled to showcase our beautiful renovations to the public,” Pampafikos said. “We are continuing to transform our hotel while continuously providing our guests with excellent customer service and an enhanced guest experience throughout their stay with us.”
The hotel also includes five luxury suites, a ballroom and Venue, a restaurant and lounge, as well as 11,000 square feet of meeting space.
Both Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino and Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said the renovated hotel will benefit Yonkers”™ economy and draw tourists to the city.
“The complete transformation of the Royal Regency Hotel is a perfect example of the Yonkers revitalization movement,” Spano said. “Yonkers is back and countless businesses, such as the Royal Regency Hotel, are making major investments that are helping the city to flourish.”
Royal Regency announced in August it would be affiliating with Worldhotels, a group of nearly 500 independent hotels in 65 countries.
