New York, US-based Loews Hotels and Resorts has announced it has agreed a deal for the acquisition of the 632-bedroom Renaissance Hollywood Hotel in California on 16 June.

The hotel - rebranded as the Loews Hollywood Hotel - will benefit from a major US$26m (EUR20.9m, £16.9m) renovation starting later this year and will remain open throughout.

First opened in 2001 as part of the Hollywood and Highland Center, the 20-storey property currently includes a spa offering a range of skincare and body care therapies.

In addition to the spa, facilities also include a rooftop swimming pool and pool deck - all of which are to be enhanced with "uniquely local touches that make Loews Hotels distinct".

Loews Hotels chair Jonathan Tisch said: "We continually look to enhance our local guest experiences through our style of comfortable luxury and genuine service combined with properties in the best locations.

"Loews Hollywood Hotel embodies the essence of Los Angeles and the addition of our signature services and upgraded amenities will match the energy and vibrant culture of Hollywood."

Paul Whetsell, president and CEO of Loews Hotels, added: "As one of North America's leading luxury hotel companies, this property in Los Angeles is an exciting addition to our expanding portfolio."
