Then, after changing hands several times over the 1970s and 1980s, it became the Hotel San Remo in 1989. The Hotel San Remo featured a popular Italian Riviera style and theme. Then in 2004, the Hooters Corporation, based in Florida, announced that they would be buying the structure and expand the popular Hooters brand into a new casino and hotel. They announced an extensive remodeling of the hotel.
