Old Holiday Inn Gets a New Look
The Holiday Inn downtown has long been a Fort Wayne icon, and a prodominant point on the Fort Wayne skyline. Now, the Fort Wayne landmark is getting a makeover.Orignially, the building operated under the Sherton brand for 7 years, until a fire in 1975 forced it to close its' doors. However, in 1980, the hotel was refurbished and reopened as a Holiday Inn, and stayed that way until 2007. Now, the hotel has been bought by the Clarion company, and is currently operating under the name of "Fort Wayne Inn".
Clarion stated that all the rooms within the hotel will be renovated, with such ammenities as flat panel televisions in each room. Also, they stated that the exterior of the building would be repainted, and shortly after would change it's name to the "Fort Wayne Metro". Within the past two weeks, the paint job on the exterior of the building started. So what are the new colors of the hotel going to be? By the looks of it so far, yellow and white. Pictures are availible above, and don't hesitate to leave your own opinion of the new colors.
