Autograph Collection Hotels announced four new properties to its portfolio, in the Florida Keys, New Orleans, Michigan and The Netherlands. Launched in 2010, Autograph Collection Hotels has grown both aggressively and selectively from less than five hotels in 2010 to over 95 hotels today.
"We are very pleased to welcome these four properties to our rapidly growing and diverse global portfolio," said Julius Robinson, VP & global lead, Autograph Collection Hotels. "Exactly like nothing else, each destination has been thoughtfully selected for its originality, character and [specific] details."
The Collection's latest additions include:
The Saint Hotel Key West, Autograph Collection (Key West, Fla.)
Located on Duval Street just blocks from Mallory Square's famed daily Key West Sunset Celebration, The Saint Hotel Key West, Autograph Collection provides a fresh luxury destination to enjoy the island's festivals and water sport offerings. The 36-room The Saint Hotel Key West represents the rebirth of one of the oldest operating hotels in historic Key West, with every aspect of the property re-imagined, redesigned and re-appointed to the luxury brand standards The Saint Hotel is known for. Following a $22 million dollar purchase and transformation, the property formerly known as the Southern Cross Hotel, was re-christened The Saint Hotel Key West when it reopened in February 2015.
Q&C Hotel and Bar, Autograph Collection (New Orleans)
The 196-room Q&C Hotel and Bar is located between the French Quarter and the Central Business District in close proximity to all the major tourist attractions. The hotel is over 100 years old and located on the Historic Register. Following a complete renovation in 2014, the hotel now boasts brand-new luxurious modern rooms alongside Wi-Fi, fitness center, convenient parking and pet friendly amenities.
Hotel Nassau Breda, Autograph Collection (Breda, The Netherlands)
In the heart of the vibrant city of Breda, the Hotel Nassau Breda, which opened on May 26, 2016, redefines the Breda hotel market. The hotel provides a combination of rich history and contemporary comfort and luxury. On one of the oldest streets in the city centre, Three Court Houses, a convent and a beautiful chapel have been converted into a hotel with 95 rooms, several meeting spaces and a fine dining restaurant. Hotel Nassau Breda has been created for travelers that want to experience the unexpected, that are looking for adventure while also expect traditional values of a luxury hotel.
The Inn at Bay Harbor, Autograph Collection (Bay Harbor, Mich.)
The stately Inn at Bay Harbor is situated on the shore of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay, where broad vistas form the background for spectacular sunsets. Calming hues and nautically-inspired patterns, textures and art provide a relaxing state of mind while enjoying the comforts of the hotel's 123 one-, two- and three-bedroom suites with full kitchens, living areas with Travertine stone fireplaces, marble baths, and balcony views. The lobby–centered around a Schonbek chandelier with more than 34,000 gem-cut crystals and nearly 200 lights—has been modernized with a warm ambiance. Deep blue wingback chairs, rich leathers, marble tabletops, decorative lighting and a cozy fireplace flanked with bookshelves of northern Michigan memorabilia encourages guests to linger. The Inn's full-service spa and salon aims to provide luxury and pampering with services that evoke rest and restoration.
All of the new additions to the Autograph Collection portfolio include space for smaller groups. The Inn at Bay Harbor contains the largest amount of meeting space at 8,110 square feet for up to 250.
