This achievement ranks The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort among fewer than one percent of the more than 23,000 AAA inspected lodgings. Around 145 hotels in U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean are designated Five Diamond, and The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort’s appointment makes it one of only two properties on the West Coast of Florida with the designation.

“We are very excited to receive this prestigious award from AAA in our first year of operations,” said Winfred van Workum, General Manager of The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort. “This is a testament to the quality of service that we take the utmost pride in offering our guests and a benchmark we will strive for each year.”

To earn the distinctive AAA Five Diamond designation, hotels and restaurants must pass a rigorous evaluation that includes unannounced in-person inspections and anonymous overnight stays, followed by a review from a panel of experts as a final step to ensure credibility. Diamond lists are updated monthly, as AAA Inspectors visit properties throughout the year. All AAA Diamond Program hotels and restaurants are re-evaluated annually to ensure they provide the best experience for travelers and diners.

“AAA is pleased to recognize St. Regis Longboat Key with the Five Diamond designation, meaning its unwavering attention to both service and surroundings have placed it into the upper echelon of AAA’s Diamond Program,” said Stacey Barber, AAA Travel Vice President. “To maintain the exceptional standards required for this designation on a daily basis is an outstanding achievement. Five Diamond hotels and restaurants consistently exceed expectations to provide their guests a highly personalized, memorable experience.”

The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort, developed by Unicorp National Developments, marks the largest development on Longboat Key in over 50 years. With 168 exquisitely appointed rooms and 26 luxurious suites, the resort seamlessly blends architectural sophistication with the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast, providing guests with stunning ocean views and state-of-the-art amenities.

The post Kissimmee, Florida is a True Golfer’s Paradise appeared first on The Hotel Guide.

In collaboration with designer Isabel Tragash, principal of STA Architectural Group, and Virgilio Mariano, founder of Ideal Casa Italian furniture, the new suite features sleek furniture, plush carpets, modern bathrooms in marble and covetable amenities, exquisite light fixtures in every room and an expansive private terrace that offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.

“The new suite exemplifies Acqualina’s commitment to offering an unmatched stay for guests, particularly those who are looking for extra room without sacrificing style,” says Acqualina Resort CEO and Partner Deborah Yager Fleming. “We curated spaces that call to our coastal surroundings yet stand out with sophisticated elements that resemble a high-design villa in Europe.”

The entryway of the suite extends to two separate living areas, where a soothing neutral backdrop showcases ocean views. The living spaces are dotted with Ideal Casa Italian furniture offering both a rich heritage and contemporary design, from a statuesque console with walnut drawers and silver finishes — a perfect nook for getting work done or serving cocktails — to a modern upholstered Italian sectional meant for gathering and conversation.

In the main living area by the terrace, there is a sculptural sideboard and fluted coffee table with a bronze glass top; and guests will enjoy the duo of velvet diamond-designed “Alison” armchairs or relax on the new Miami sofa-bed made in Italy that imbues the color of the beach below. Abstract 4DaSoul rugs, aptly named “Mosaic Calm,” combine the soft sheen of viscose with an elegant finish of New Zealand wool, adding coastal calm to the spaces, while crystal octagonal table lamps and two metal LED “Fiama” chandeliers by Sean Lavin are a preview of the suite’s light fixtures.

In the full gourmet kitchen, there’s sleek wood cabinetry paired with luxurious Italian Lapitec stone countertops and a waterfall bar, and all of the culinary amenities one needs to cook a meal together. The nearby dining room features a circular Casa Spin Dining Table with a central steel column that’s wrapped in a full-grain leather in a spiral pattern, complemented by wood dining chairs with backrests.

The table is anchored by a diamond-shaped “Everest” pendant by Elan Lighting, an ideal spot for soaking up the ocean views. The bar stools mimic the dining chairs, and are also architectural in nature, distinguished by a curved oak structure with a sinuous design.

In the primary bedroom, a crystal Possini Euro Design Vesta ring pendant hangs from the ceiling and white sateen linens and a duvet cover in a champagne trim and elegant drapery invites guests to linger longer. Views of the Atlantic Ocean can be seen from the bed, or on the private terrace.

Tragash of STA Architectural Group designed the primary bathroom in Italian-meets-coastal elegance, with gleaming Italian marble flooring, that’s echoed in the glass-enclosed shower for two, a textured wallcovering, and a stunning Vena Di Oro marble-top double vanity.

The suite’s other bedrooms also feature the same luxuries, including more inventive lighting — and the third bedroom showcases twin beds for families or friends traveling together and vistas of the Intracoastal Waterway.

“The new suite not only offers the luxury of space,” says Yager Fleming, “but no matter which room guests are in, they’re treated to the same amount of opulence and avant-garde details.”

“Beach Club has long been recognized as one of the most coveted beachside resort destinations in South Florida, and this evolution is poised to captivate a whole new category of discerning travelers while appealing to our legacy guests,” said Daniel A. Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton. “We are partnering with top designers and leading industry minds to create intriguing new offerings that will inspire.

Beach Club will triple its quantity of suites, including the Grand Suite + Lanai that features one- and two-bedroom options that flow into expansive outdoor poolside living spaces with lounge seating, granting guests easy access to the fresh salt air from their private patios.

INSPIRED DINING

Beach Club will offer distinct oceanfront food and drink options.

Fresh Mediterranean fare will appeal to the whole family.

Inspired by iconic coastal destinations, a new sand-side dining experience, Onda, will spotlight a new culinarian each winter season. In its opening season, guests at Onda will dine on classic island flavors.

Located just beyond Beach Club’s entrance, Living Room will feature world-class mixologists hand-crafting elegant evening aperitifs amid a mesmerizing atmosphere that begets intimate conversations.

Situated nearby, Ocean Market features quick gourmet bites and ice cream, allowing guests to return to their beach adventures without missing a beat.

CURATED EXPERIENCES

Beach Club will offer an extensive selection of amenities and services rooted in the spirit of the coastal lifestyle.  For a luxury experience with a touch of retro chic, Beach Club will be home to an exclusive VesBAR fleet, repurposed 1960s Vespas helmed by a cadre of skilled bartenders. The hotel’s distinct programming will celebrate intentional moments from day to night, including an immersive Ritual Series beginning with First Light oceanside wellness classes, a Sunset Ritual marking the evening transition with a signature soundtrack and artisanal aperitifs, and Night’s End, a special late-night wind down tradition.

When not relaxing on the hotel’s private beach or partaking in on-the-water adventures such as surfing and pedal kayaking, guests can swim or sunbathe at one of three pools or at Cabana Club, a collection of vibrant pool cabanas designed in partnership with St. Tropez swimwear brand Vilebrequin. Waterside adventures await the youngest guests and members at Banyan Bunch Beachside, a dedicated children’s program featuring fun amenities and educational activations designed around adventure, creation, discovery, and nature.

A PLACE TO GATHER

The ultimate setting for unforgettable meetings, events, oceanside weddings and celebrations, Beach Club offers a variety of indoor and outdoor venues. Newly transformed spaces include the beachfront Surfside Lawn framed by swaying palm trees that can be open-air or tented, the expansive Atlantic Ballroom, and the scenic outdoor Coastal Patio, each offering an idyllic location for gatherings of all sizes.

In addition to experiences enjoyed at the Forbes Five-Star Beach Club, a stay provides access to The Boca Raton’s Harborside amenities. Just a five-minute Water Taxi across the Intracoastal, the resort offers golf, tennis, pickleball, wellness experiences at Spa Palmera, as well as three pools, water slides, a floating river, and more at Harborside Pool Club.

Beach Club is being brought to life by Urban Robot Associates, a design collective based in Miami Beach, as well as landscape architecture firm EDSA, and Garcia Stromberg—a firm of architects, designers, and artists. This marks the second phase of The Boca Raton’s overall $375 million transformation. The first phase was completed in early 2023, which redesigned Harborside’s offerings and amenities, including Tower hotel, more than 12 restaurants and lounges, the new four-acre Harborside Pool Club, and upgrades to the storied Cloister hotel.
