With the rise of extreme construction costs during Covid, 2019 to 2021, there becam e an opportunity to transition the approved Marriott Aloft hotel, a “ Distinctive Upscale “ hotel to a “ Distinctive Upper Upscale “ brand, a Tribute Portfolio by Marriott, which is in the same Marriott category as a Westin, Renaissance and Le Meridien hotels. With the increased construction costs over the past few years, this opportunity allowed this new hotel brand, the Tribute Portfolio, to align with the development vision of the City of Carmel. A distinctively upscale hotel for a similar cost to an Aloft. The Tribute Portfolio allows the Owner and Designer more design freedoms on the interior and exterior of the hotel. As a result. The restaurant and bar have been expanded and the Tribute Portfolio guestrooms have an upscale level of finish that the older Aloft did not have. This new Tribute Portfolio hotel will be named “ The Tallison “. Respectfully, Mark Eriksson, RA, Associate Principal cc: Nash Patel, John Tampa, file
