The Grand Westwater Resort

The Grand Westwater Resort is a resort by The Grand Hotel Company designed by HANSON Associates. It is located on the west side of downtown Westwater, Haavelin, and is a seaside property.

Original Plan
As the downtown of Westwater expanded, The Grand Hotel Company saw the opportunity to create a new property. The company originally purchased two riverside city blocks of space and a plan was created to make a nine story tower hotel.

Some concerns arose from the public about the proposed property, including the way the hotel would be connected over a roadway. Eventually, city officials denied the plan because the proposed height of the tower exceeded the riverside height limit of 45 blocks above street level. The architect refused to accommodate for the height limit because it would not have meet the minimum amount of rooms The Grand Hotel Company requested. The Grand Hotel Company halted the plan to make a hotel in Westwater and sold off the two city blocks.

Revised Plan
Within a month, The Grand Hotel Company purchased a beachside property west of downtown. The city of Westwater's limit on height by the ocean is as tall as the ground permits, so the hotel could be as big as the company's budget permitted. A new plan was made for a resort style hotel, and it is subsequently the first resort by The Grand Hotel Company.

The new building is three times larger than what was planned in the downtown location. In order to fit a pool and other accommodations, the hotel expanded the beach. The street the hotel is located on was named Grand Circle because the street was built for the hotel. As well as expanding the beach and creating a street for the hotel, the city of Westwater expanded the sewers and fresh water source to the hotel. Since the city of Westwater does not chill their water, the hotel has its own chilling facility.
