Andre Agassi Developing Luxury Hotel
His tennis career may be over, but Andre Agassi is already well into another kind of game. He and his wife, Stefanie Graf, are developing a luxury hotel complex, the Fairmont Tamarack. The couple is not only investing in the project, but they will be "active in the development, design and overall lifestyle offering[s]."
The resort will be located in Donnelly, Idaho and it will have two locations, Belvedere Ridge and Whitewater. The former will be a village location with about 285 hotel/condo units a golf course and a world-class spa. The hotel units fill be operated by Fairmont Resorts. The Whitewater campus will have 50 private residences and will be located partway up the mountain, providing easy access to the ski slopes in winter and lots of privacy.
The complex is scheduled for completion in 2008 or 2009.
