The City of Ontario celebrated the ground breaking of the Element by Westin Hotel on Friday with the hotel developer Glacier House Hotels and representatives from the business community. The 90,000 square foot hotel is being constructed at the 4.5 acre site located at 900 North Via Piemonte, across from Citizens Business Bank Arena. The four-story, 131-room hotel will include amenities such as a pool, fitness center, and a 3,000 square foot full-service restaurant. The project is expected to be completed and open by Fall 2019.

The development of this new hotel is the next phase in implementing the Mayor and City Council’s vision for the Ontario Center area, near Citizens Business Bank Arena. Complementing this new hotel, the area will feature high-density residential units, a grocery-anchored shopping center, new restaurants and brew pubs. This integrated lifestyle center will create a vibrant entertainment district for Ontario’s residents, employees and visitors.
