The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort is pleased to announce it has received the coveted AAA Five Diamond designation in its first year open. The accolade puts the resort among a highly select group representing the top tier of the hospitality industry in North America showcasing world-class luxury, amenities, service and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

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 award-winning Acqualina Resort & Residences launches a spectacular new three-bedroom suite located high atop the 31st floor of the beachfront property that is designed to impress with expansive spaces and refined features.

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.


“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.”

Located in the Disney Springs® Resort Area in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa is now open for accommodations, meetings and events, spa, and dining experiences. Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, is known for connecting travelers to the spirit of the neighborhood through unexpected discoveries.
The full-service resort features 394 newly appointed guest rooms, more than 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, a zero-entry pool and hot tub, and signature farm-to-table restaurant, American Kitchen Bar & Grill.

Following the $25 million renovation, Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa boasts newly renovated amenities including the expansive Indulged Spa + Wellness Retreat with an array of rejuvenating services and treatments, a 5,000 square foot outdoor terrace perfect for events and groups, a fitness studio, updated rooms and lobby.

As an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel, guests have access to a theme park shuttle service and early entry into Walt Disney World® theme parks. Onsite outdoor amenities include the pool, hot tub, and more. Ground-level rooms feature stunning lanai-style accommodations circling the pool for resort-style ambience.

“We are delighted to offer a vibrant stay with elevated amenities and engaging activities,” said Charlie Kingston, General Manager for the Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa. “Our staff is deeply connected to the neighborhood, an essential experience at Renaissance Hotels, and we look forward to providing premium services for all of our guests.”
The resort tapped New York-based hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor to complete the interior design for the renovation, with modern aesthetics exemplifying the tropical essence of Florida. Inspired by the local citrus groves of Orlando, the resort’s modern design pops with blue-greens, crisp white, and accents of terracotta. Along with new carpeting, signage, and light fixtures in the corridors, the rooms provide distinct and memorable decor elements including a ceiling design that emulates a sun canopy. The resort’s pool bar unifies the lobby’s tropical theme with geometric palm-inspired tile updated, pool loungers and umbrellas, all offering a playful and vibrant feel throughout.
The Renaissance Navigator, the brand’s on-property neighborhood expert, is always on hand to help guests uncover the DNA of the surrounding area with handpicked discoveries not found in guidebooks. For those interested in a truly tailored outing, guests can build a custom itinerary to stimulate their senses with the locally attuned insight of the Renaissance Navigator.
Only 13 miles from Orlando International Airport, the resort is conveniently located for intimate meetings, cocktail receptions, corporate retreats, weddings, celebratory events, and more. The intimate convention space allows for tailored experiences such as chef-curated specialties. The resort’s $25 million renovation provides the opportunity to choose from indoor or outdoor meetings, with flexible function space and a personalized experience. The newly opened 5,000 square foot terrace provides exceptional space for creative decor and programming.

The Boca Raton, South Florida’s iconic private club and resort, announces the debut of the reimagined Beach Club, with reservations available beginning December 2024. When the $120 million investment is complete, the luxury oceanfront escape will seamlessly connect to its golden beach backdrop through a stunning redesign and curated experiences.

Resort guests and club members will set their own pace at Beach Club with new restaurants, a cocktail lounge and café, new fitness facility, dynamic oceanside event spaces, and a transformation of guest rooms and suites overlooking a half-mile stretch of private beach along the Atlantic Ocean.

“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. The new Beach Club will reflect the very best in design, dining, and experience—at the only beachfront resort in Boca Raton.”

Beach Club’s 210 spacious guest rooms and suites will showcase a spectacular design that blurs the lines between interiors and outdoors, complete with floor-to-ceiling ocean or Intracoastal views. The light-filled accommodations will embrace the sea breeze and natural textures, including honed marble and cerused woods complemented by vibrant coral velvet accents.

Among the elevated in-room amenities, a wet bar with water filtration system will invite guests to stay hydrated on the go. 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.

The property’s beloved culinary destination, Marisol, will see a newly designed indoor-outdoor setting serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner just steps from the ocean. Fresh Mediterranean fare will appeal to the whole family. And after dinner, Marisol’s bar—a dramatic centerpiece of the restaurant’s design—will be a social hub to enjoy curated cocktails prepared with precision. 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. For a chance to sit back among the stars, an outdoor terrace overlooks the seascape. During daylight hours, guests will refresh and ruminate at Living Room’s café, a sunny space offering house-made pastries, light bites, and gourmet coffee.

The poolside White Bar is an open-air gathering spot with a relaxed atmosphere, featuring creative cocktails and an extensive wine list to be enjoyed while catching up with friends or catching the big game. 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.
