Delta Hotels and Resorts recently announced the official opening of the Delta Waterloo, the first four-star upscale hotel in Waterloo, Ont.

After a $36-million investment, the full-service hotel will serve the region’s growing business, research and technology communities as part of the 14-acre Barrelyards community—a multi-million dollar development project approved by the city several years ago.

The hotel also boasts Delta’s new brand through modern design elements, while reflecting the area’s celebrated architecture through clean lines and open spaces. There are 194 guest rooms and suites, a retreat-style pool and sauna, a business centre, restaurant cuisine made with global flavours and locally produced ingredients and about 6,500 square feet of meeting and conference space.

“With its growing community of celebrated institutions and environment of innovation, Waterloo is the perfect location for Delta’s newest hotel,” says Ken Greene, President and CEO of Delta Hotels and Resorts. “We expect Delta Waterloo to be the destination for business and leisure visitors who are drawn to the region’s many business and cultural attractions.”
