The city of Virginia Beach gave the old convention a face lift, a bigger better convention center that to me looks like something out of Buck Rogers. For years the city has wanted to build a hotel to support the convention center, the Double Tree is the closest but has fewer than 300 rooms. Real estate consultants have told the city that the longer they wait, the more they will lose. This resulted in a several unsolicited bids to build a new hotel closer to the convention center with 300 or more rooms. Now the city has 4 public-private ventures to consider.
