400-room Catskill resort set to complete reconstruction after devastating
2006 fire
The Villa Roma Resort and
Conference Center, a popular resort in the Sullivan County Catskills, is
set to reopen its hotel this summer. The resort, located in Callicoon,
N.Y., was destroyed by an accidental fire in April 2006. The Villa Roma,
which boasts almost 400 rooms and suites, is close to completing a $27.3
million construction of a new main hotel facility and enhancement of guest
amenities.
Villa Roma is owned and operated by Founder and President Martin
Passante and Vice President Paul Carlucci. "While almost all the Catskill
resorts are gone, Villa Roma prospered over the years because we have
always been committed to continued investment in our resort," said
Passante. "This new design and amenities will offer our guests an enhanced
experience, with the family hospitality and outstanding service they have
come to expect from the Villa Roma."
In addition to many renovated 1- and 2-bedroom luxury suites, the
reconstructed hotel will feature new amenities including a 600-seat
ballroom, lounge and dance club, 150-seat cafe, 30-person Jacuzzi spa and a
new outdoor water playground.
Villa Roma also offers its guests a total of five pools, indoor tennis
and fitness center, 1,000-seat night club and show room, 18-hole
championship golf course, club house and catering facility, arcade, bumper
boat pool, go-cart track, horseback riding, spa, gift shop, bowling
facility, supervised children's programs, wireless Internet and corporate
meeting rooms.
"The silver lining from the fire is that we were able to build a new
Villa Roma and it's better than ever," commented Carlucci, who has been a
partner in the property since 1984. "After two years of planning and
construction of our new and improved luxury resort, we can finally open the
doors this summer and offer our guests an enhanced guest experience while
still being that great getaway close to home."
