{Charleston , West Virginia }…The
$15 million renovation of the former Charleston House, which overlooks Haddad Riverfront
Park and the Kanawha River ,
is in full swing. BBL Hospitality purchased the hotel in September 2011 for
about $5 million and immediately announced plans to renovate the 12-story
structure. New elevators have already been installed, and the Recovery Sports
Grill, a family-oriented sports restaurant, opened in October. Construction of
an indoor pool is about to begin, and the two top floors have been gutted to
make way for condominiums.
