The Renaissance Resort At World Golf Village In Northeast Florida Offering New "Business Traveler Package"
If you are traveling on business to Northeast Florida, you should consider taking advantage of the new “Business Traveler Package” that is now being offered by The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village. Conveniently connected to the St. Johns County Convention Center in St. Augustine, with easy access to Jacksonville, the 301-room resort is the largest combination hotel and conference center between Atlanta and Orlando, with 86,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space. The new “Business Traveler Package” includes: wired and wireless high-speed Internet access; one in-room movie per day; valet parking; and daily dry cleaning (not to exceed $25). Available to business travelers staying at the resort, the package is just $30 above standard retail room rates, providing a very nice savings as the package components normally would be $80. Standard retail room rates range from $129 per night and up throughout the year, based on dates and availability. “The package provides a $50 savings when you tally the value of all of the package components, which is a considerable savings for our valued business traveler guests,” said Scott Selvaggi, the resort’s director of sales and marketing. “Combine the value of the package with our newly-renovated resort, incredible resort and convention center offerings, and the resort’s location with easy access to Jacksonville, and it really is a great offer.” For more information, or for reservations, contact The Renaissance Resort at World Golf Village at (888) 740-7020 or 904-940-8635, or visit www.WorldGolfRenaissance.com.

The impressive $10 million renovation, completed in 2008, included the complete remodeling of all 301 guest rooms and suites, dramatic changes to the lobby atrium and entry area, remodeling of all guest room corridors, an expanded fitness center with new state-of-the-art equipment, enhancements to the meeting space and business center, and the opening of an exceptional new restaurant and bar called 500 South. Guest rooms and suites feature new furniture, soft goods, window treatments, lighting, 37” flat-panel screen LCD HDTV televisions, and the Marriott JackPack, which provides complete connectivity to the guests for laptops, MP3 players, digital cameras, and video game players. The rooms and suites feature a contemporary design with an Asian feel, which includes rich red bed coverings, crisp white linens, along with a color scheme of warm neutral gold. In-room offerings also include high-speed Internet access, two telephones with data ports, a wet bar and refrigerator, an in-room safe, and in-room coffee. Recreational offerings at the resort include two championship golf courses: the popular 6,939-yard Slammer & Squire (just steps from The Renaissance Resort), and the renowned 7,279-yard King & Bear (co-designed by Arnold “The King” Palmer and Jack “The Bear” Nicklaus).
