| Beginning in January 2022, the newest renovation of Oglebay’s Wilson Lodge will transform and incorporate the 50+ year old Kline Wing into an extension of the West Wing. The rooms will be uniquely designed, providing guests with more open space, updated décor and a visually appealing color palette of warm and neutral tones throughout the suites. Additional renovations also include new flooring, enhanced lighting, and updated bathrooms. A new elevator and refreshed look complementing the hallways of West Wing will complete the transformation. “The renovation of Kline Wing is long overdue. We are excited to soon offer guests the comfort, modern amenities and excellent customer service they have come to expect,” said Beth Whitehouse, General Manager. Oglebay is certainly no stranger to construction or renovations. Expansions to Wilson Lodge included dining room renovations in 1989 and 1999, and the addition of a conference center wing in 1997. In 2006, Wilson underwent major construction with the addition of the 53-room Lakeside Wing. This new wing opened in May of 2006 and features deluxe king and double queen rooms and suites. The $15 million dollar construction project also included a complete redesign and renovation of existing guest rooms, six new king rooms, and a new 5,000 square-foot spa that was christened The West Spa. The original hotel rooms at Wilson Lodge were wholly renovated and renamed the West Wing, in honor of Gary and Phyllis (Flip) West and their daughters, in 2016. In 2021, Oglebay renovated Glessner Auditorium, a 7,600 square foot, 350-seat multi-purpose event and conference space and a 1,500 square foot pre-function space. Renovations included new carpeting, restoration of the hardwood floor, cleaning of the existing wood columns, paneling and wood railing, new LED, accent and stage lighting, audio-visual infrastructure improvements and new stage curtains and window treatments. Additionally, all conference and meeting facilities were fully renovated and equipped with state-of-the-art presentation technology. Today, Wilson Lodge is the centerpiece of Oglebay boasting 258 rooms, suites and chalets. Premium rooms and suites have soothing guest interiors featuring rich wood and granite, LCD TVs, wet bars, balconies, high-speed wireless and more. Superb dining venues, a full-service spa, 24-hour fitness center, retail outlets and an array of additional amenities by special request are available to all guests.
