After months of renovations, The Colony hotel unveiled its revamped lobby, and a new staff addition, on Dec. 18. The lobby, which will now be called the Living Room, has reopened under the supervision of Megan Brolley as the freshly appointed living room manager.
The new space caters to hotel guests and the community alike, serving as a gathering place for check-ins and a quick stop for locals to grab cocktails before dinner or sip coffee with the morning’s newspaper. Guests will have access to all-day beverage and cocktail service, and soon the hotel will add a menu so people can order light bites in the lobby.
