Andre Agassi's Hotelier Career Commences
Now that Andre Agassi has officially retired from the world of tennis, he can concentrate on his new role as hotelier.
Agassi and his tennis-superstar wife Steffi Graf announced their plans to build a luxury hotel in Idaho last summer. But now plans are moving full-steam ahead with the place, Fairmont Tamarack, taking reservations for the residences to be built within the hotel.
The couple's development company, Agassi Graf Development LLC, has partnered with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts which will manage the place. The resort will actually have two locations, a resort and spa located in Tamarack's village and a mid-mountain site. The place is expected to be completed in 2009 with sales of residences expected to start in early 2007.
But unlike a lot of other celeb-sponsored resorts, Agassi and Graf will have hands-on development in the place.
"Tamarack is the perfect location for anyone interested in taking a little time out of their lives to get away or spend quality time with their family," said Agassi. "Our vision is to create an exceptional lifestyle offering that complements the natural beauty and uniqueness of the resort. It's about bringing the highest standard of quality and luxury to the whole experience."
The place has everything you would expect from an upscale ski and mountain resort, but sadly no big plans for an Agassi Graf tennis center.
