NAPLES, Fla.
Northwood Hospitality has completed the transition of the Waldorf Astoria Naples into the independently branded Naples Grande Beach Resort & Naples Grande Golf Course.
The hotel is now working on an $18 million dollar renovation and redesign of all 474 guest rooms and suites, three restaurants, beach area and common spaces. It will remain open and operational through the renovation, with the completion to be unveiled in January 2015.
"In addition to the complete new design look of the rooms, the property enhancements include furnishing each guest room balcony to elevate the in-room experience, and customizing each of the three pools to bring a variety of aquatic offerings that exist alongside our secluded sunset beach which is accessed through a scenic and protected mangrove sanctuary," says David McCaslin, president of Northwood Hospitality.
Naples Grand Beach Resort has 474 guest rooms including 29 gulf-view suites and 50 bungalow suites, and more than 83,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Every room features a private, angled balcony with direct views of the Gulf.
Guests of the hotel have access to five on-site restaurants and bars, three heated outdoor pools with a 100-foot waterslide, a full-service luxury spa, 8,000-square-foot fitness center, business center and a tennis facility with 15 courts. The property is surrounded by 200 acres of a protected mangrove estuary intertwined with a system of bridges and elevated walking paths that afford access to three miles of beachfront on the Gulf of Mexico. The property is also immediately proximate to the Waterside Shops, an elegant shopping mall.
The Naples Grande Golf Course is a private course located minutes from the hotel. The 18-hole, par 72 course features 6,955 yards set among a landscape of native Florida pine hammocks, live oak, grand cypress trees, and ample water features.
