Hotel

• Adjacent to Mondavi Center, Buehler Alumni & Visitors Center and proposed conference center
• Will provide adjacent lodging and amenities to conference attendees
• Three-story hotel, 75 guest rooms, lobby and outdoor pool

The university hotel will occupy approximately one acre and comprise approximately 40,000 gsf (28,000 asf). It will include 75 guest rooms (including some suites), interior walkways, a lobby, elevator space, and an outdoor pool.

The three-story facility will be located centrally within the project site, east of the conference center facility. A covered walkway and a large courtyard will join the conference center facility and the hotel.

The hotel is integral to the success of the conference center - it will provide adjacent lodging with amenities to meet the needs of conference attendees. Conference planners - for academic conferences in particular - seek facilities that adequately provides for multi-day conferences.

The proposed hotel is essential to complete the full-service meeting environment and critical to the success of this type of regional center. In addition, revenue generated from operating the proposed hotel will make the conference center facility financially viable. Without this revenue, a conference center operation would be less likely to fund the project and all of its proposed design standards and amenities.

As a unit, the Conference Center and Hotel will substantially contribute to the UC Davis academic program. The hotel would also function in conjunction with the existing Buehler Alumni and Visitors Center, and the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts to enhance UC Davis' role as a regional center for the exchange of ideas.
