Point Pillar Properties LLC Announces the Grand Opening of
Oceano Hotel & Spa
Half Moon Bay Harbor
Luxurious Seaside Hotel is the Newest and the Most Eco-Friendly
On the Northern California Coast
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. March 17, 2008 – Point Pillar Properties LLC announced today the formal opening of the newest hotel on the Northern California coast. Located on the pristine northern coastline of Princeton-By-The-Sea in Half Moon Bay, the long anticipated opening of the Oceano Hotel & Spa is drawing raves from all who visit.
Integrated into the Oceano Hotel is Harbor Village, a unique shopping village with a seaside flare. Nestled under a greenhouse roof, an interior promenade, sheltered from uncertain weather and flooded with natural sunlight, Oceano resembles a turn of the century seaport village offering hotel guests and area visitors exciting and different shopping options. The shops, scheduled to open in June 2008, will feature mainly local boutique style merchants.
Oceano’s 84 luxuriously appointed rooms include gas log fireplaces, 42 inch Plasma HD televisions, soaking tubs with separate granite showers, wireless broadband internet access, the finest quality bamboo linens, luxury bath products, premier mattresses, patios or balconies and spectacular harbor views from every room. In addition, there are 11 extended-stay Villas with kitchens; some with two bedrooms, two baths while others offer one bedroom, one bath and a sleeping loft. All 11 Villas boast breathtaking views of the Coastal Range Mountains.
More than 10 years were spent in the planning and development of the Oceano Hotel & Spa in order to ensure the environmentally friendly nature of the entire project. From Planning Commission to Coastal Commission to other local and state regulatory agencies, all have placed their indelible mark on this laborious undertaking. The result may well be the most environmentally focused green hotel project of its type anywhere in California.
Point Pillar Properties LLC President and CEO, Keet Nerhan said, “The Oceano Hotel and Harbor Village project underscores our belief that community enhancement, responsible green business practices and a first class luxury product do not have to be mutually exclusive.” A litany of cutting edge green components and practices characterize Oceano and are testimony to Mr. Nerhan’s assertion. Recycling throughout the hotel, low flow water faucets, ozone laundry system, smart thermostats, exclusive use of recycled paper products, CFL lighting, steel and metal construction, hardybacker board (a concrete product) instead of wood and the Electrolyser room cleaning system (salt water and electricity cleaning process) are all featured elements of an extraordinarily green operation. Conference and meeting planners and business and leisure travelers who are interested in eco-friendly destinations need look no further than Oceano.
Hotel amenities that make Oceano an attractive choice for business or leisure travelers include
The Oceano lounge, the business center, a full service spa and fitness center (set to open June 2008) complete gourmet room service, a 4,400 square foot Grand Ballroom and Atrium and outdoor wedding gardens cast in a spectacular ocean view setting and 8,000 square feet of meeting and event space coupled with valet and/or extensive private underground parking.
