than 20 year's of experience :in
the hotel industry, including 10
years at tim Seelbach ttotel, a
venerable hot;el in Iouisville,
Kentucky, dating back to 1905.
Some 85 to 90 t)ercent of A1-
derbrook's guests come from the
Seattl6 area and Carnovale said
he markets the resort to Seattle.
The re::;ort lia 77 guest r(,}ms
and 16 cot t:g,s :,, (I is r,, tin ing a t
an occul)atcy rate of 70 percent
this year.
Alderbrook tbatures a pool,
spa, restauraifl, 7,00() square tbet
of meeting spce and employs
between 120 a:nd 140 people. A
large percentage of the guests
make their reserw.itions on-line

lbrt this Christmas season as
well. It will have live mih,s of
lights, with 10,000 lights o,i the
grand 40-foot Cln'istnms tree
alone. There will be 65 ginger-
bread houses in the lobby. Last
