ISIS Hospitality Begins Renovation of The Hotel Alex Johnson and Unveils Aggressive
Expansion Plans For WaTiki Indoor Water Park Resort
ISIS Hospitality has begun renovations of The Hotel Alex Johnson, completing a prototypical
guest room and corridor. Plans for the renovation are finalized and the materials to begin
executing the project are currently being ordered. The original large storefront windows at
street level will be restored this summer, providing a more inviting ambience in the new
restaurant, AJ's Bistro. The complete renovation of the hotel guest rooms, corridors, lobby,
restaurant and Paddy O'Neill's Pub will be completed by June 1, 2010. The scope of this
multi-million dollar renovation will position the property as the finest hotel in the state
while offering moderate, competitive rates.
ISIS Hospitality has secured a franchise agreement for a new SpringHill Suites by Marriott.
This new 150 room, upscale, all suite property will be constructed adjacent to the Fairfield
Inn & Suites at the WaTiki Indoor Water Park Resort. At the same location, a state-of-the-art
12,000 square foot conference center, featuring sophisticated video conferencing
capability will be built with easy indoor access from all three hotels at WaTiki. Additionally,
the water park itself will undergo a major expansion more than doubling its current size. A
million dollar FlowRider artificial wave surfer will be installed, a 10,000 square foot
outdoor resort pool with swim-up bar will be added and several extreme slides will round
out this expansion. The WaTiki expansion will commence in the spring of 2010.
ISIS Hospitality has enjoyed continued growth in 2009 despite the severe national
recession. The owners of ISIS Hospitality remain bullish on local economic trends for the
foreseeable future. ISIS Hospitality is owned by the Bradsky and Patton families of Rapid
City.
A press tour of the renovated model guest room and corridor of The Hotel Alex Johnson will
be held on Wednesday, June 10th at 2:00 P.M.
