As construction progresses on Mohegan Sun’s 400-room, $130 million Earth Tower opening in fall 2016, Mohegan Sun announces a two year $50 million renovation project for the Sky Tower – the prevailing 1,200-room hotel that was introduced in 2002. A part of this initiative features a multi-million dollar revamp and rebranding of the property’s existing spa, combined with a fully new Mandara Spa build out as a part of the brand new Earth Tower. Continuously striving to supply guests the most efficient amenities available, Mohegan Sun has announced the introduction of Victoria’s Secret to The malls at Mohegan Sun, two new dining offerings and exclusive hybrid fusion games. 

The Sky Renovation project, estimated at $50 million overall once completed, will encompass standard and junior suite room renovations including new carpeting, wall covers, casework furniture and fabrics. The rooms can even feature a brand spanking new e-tray arrangement in lieu of a mini-bar, refrigerators, in addition to an iPad, providing a mess of services for guests including a compendium, thermostat adjustments, room service ordering and television control. For guests’ convenience, a motion detecting light may be installed under the tip tables, and can activate automatically once guests step away from bed. The hotel corridors and lobby furniture may also be updated as a part of the project. 

“At Mohegan Sun, we're committed to continuously providing fresh and appealing offerings,” says Ray Pineault, president & general manager of Mohegan Sun. “These enhancements are a couple of examples of our dedication to conform and steadily exceed the expectancies of our valued guests.”

Mohegan Sun is operating with Steiner Leisure Limited to bring Mandara Spa to 2 separate locations on-property. This global spa brand was established in Bali, Indonesia and is a pioneer of tropical, multi-cultural spa experience rooted within the Balinese tradition of healing touches. The Sky Tower’s existing 22,000 square foot Elemis Spa will undergo an entire renovation and rebranding to become a Mandara Spa, that is projected to be complete in 2017. Set to open this fall, the brand new Mandara Spa location is in development inside the Earth Tower and can feature seven total treatment rooms. Featuring world-renowned, premium spa offerings, the addition of getting two Mandara Spas on property will significantly elevate the brand’s guest experience in some way that actually defines modern indulgence. 

“We are privileged to embark in this journey with Mohegan Sun Hotel, presenting a brand new spa brand and expanded spa facilities with a view to afford hotel and casino guests with another luxury experience on property,” said Leonard Fluxman, president and chief executive officer of Steiner Leisure Limited. “The Mandara Spa brand has a world footprint, and its debut at Mohegan Sun won't only introduce innovative treatment and product offerings, but may even fuse time-honored Balinese traditions with regional influences for an unparalleled spa experience.”

Adding to the retail offerings, Mohegan Sun has partnered with Victoria’s Secret to open a brand new location within the Shops at Mohegan Sun, coming this fall, and earlier this month, welcomed The Art of Shaving, a premium barber spa and shop.  Later this summer, Tom’s Urban, will open with an innovative travel inspired menu and over 40 beers on tap. More restaurant offerings will include a take a seat waiter serviced Asian restaurant, Jumbo Oriental, that's set to open and contours Chinese, Vietnamese, and Southern Asian offerings, infused with authentic flavors that melt deep into each dish.

In addition to the Sky Tower renovations, Hybrid Fusion games have launched inside Sunrise Square, with more to be installed in Casino of the Sky by the top of June 2016. A Hybrid Fusion game involves live blackjack, roulette and baccarat dealers’ hands to be broadcasted onto a monitor sitting in front of the player in addition to a 50” screen above the stadium. This technology will allow players to play designated games of blackjack, roulette, or baccarat mutually.  

“Mohegan Sun Connecticut would be the first within the America to supply the blackjack Hybrid Fusion game, which truly sets us apart within the industry,” says Pineault. “Guests will now be capable of take part in four in their favorite games at once, which boosts their experience at our world-class casinos.” Casino of the Sky may have a complete of 41 seats for guests, while Sunrise Square can have 20 seats.
