[edit] Renovation

Recently in 2007, the hotel at Seven Springs received a full renovation and redecoration. All 418 hotel rooms were planned for refurbishment. Seven Springs chose George Conte Designs of Greensburg, Pennsylvania to perform the complete renovation. The entire rooms will be remodeled, with new bedding, carpets, curtains, doors, tables, desks, and chairs. Also new for the renewed hotel is an LCD TV in each room with a multimedia jack for connecting various digital devices.

Another project that was planned by Seven Springs Mountain Resort was the building of a second high speed six-passenger chairlift at the Gunnar slope. The new Gunnar Express Lift was constructed in place of the Gunnar Triple Chairlift.

Construction for both the hotel and the chairlift have been fully completed and open to guests for use.
