MORRISTOWN, N.J., May 26, 2004 - The Westin Governor Morris, historic Morristown, New Jersey's landmark hotel, will receive a multi-million dollar facelift under new partners Amerimar Enterprises of Philadelphia, PA and Angelo, Gordon & Co.  The restoration will rejuvenate this jewel of Morris County with a stunning metamorphosis that takes nothing away from its traditional old world charm, while bringing it up to Westin's 21st century standards.  Fully equipped with all of the most advanced Westin services and amenities, The Westin Governor Morris will become the new benchmark for modern luxury hotels in the metropolitan New Jersey area.  The hotel will close June 1st and re-open late summer to officially unveil in September a sophisticated new four-star sanctuary, providing the perfect mix of elegant intimacy and full service accommodations for a discerning social event, corporate and leisure clientele. 
 
A unique architectural showpiece, The Westin Governor Morris has presented interesting challenges for internationally renowned designer Dayna Lee, owner of the Hollywood-based design studio Powerstrip.  The genius behind the chic looks of hotels such as the Hotel Derek/Houston, W Los Angeles, New Orleans Hotel and 39 Degrees in Sky Hotel/Aspen, Ms. Lee is also celebrated for her work in the entertainment field, such as the Emmy-nominated private concert for Sting's "Sting in Tuscany."
