\u201cWe are proud to debut the premier hotel experience in the region,\u201d Hausler said. \u201cWe think it\u2019ll be consistent with what our guests have come to associate with the Parx brand, which is the highest-quality product, excellent food, and amazing guest service.\u201d<\/p>\n

John Dixon, chief operating officer of Parx, oversaw the renovation process that gutted the entire facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an old building, and it hadn\u2019t had a lot of love and attention for many years,\u201d Dixon said. \u201cWe ended up renovating everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
