Hearn to Build Hotels in Fairfield
By Amanda Janis/Business Writer

Vacaville's Hearn Construction has been hired for two new multimillion dollar hotel projects on Holiday Lane in Fairfield. Both will be owned by Fairfield-based Presidio Hotel Group, LLC.

A 94-room Residence Inn will be built, while the Holiday Inn Select will be converted to a Courtyard by Marriott.

"We hope to break ground sometime between May and June," said Fred Hearn, Hearn's chief executive officer and construction manager.

Hearn, with Solano County-based ARC Inc. Architects, will substantially remodel the Holiday Inn.

The hotel's 142 guest rooms will be updated, as will the lobby, restaurant, lounge, banquet facilities, and restrooms.

The Residence Inn - a Marriott subsidiary - will be a four-story, 64,000- square-foot hotel. Amenities will include a pool, spa, sports court, barbecue pit, exercise and meeting facilities.

Completion is expected in summer 2007. The Courtyard by Marriott conversion is to be finished this fall.
