The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, which completed a multi-million dollar renovation of its guest rooms in 2008, is offering incentives for new group bookings during “2009 Value Dates.” The 318-room resort features 34,000 square feet of indoor meeting and event space, many picturesque outdoor Gulf-front venues, and is Southwest Florida’s only resort directly on the beach to offer an on-site championship golf course, world-class spa, and award-winning tennis center.
Based on space availability, groups booking new business by May 1, 2009 during “2009 Value Dates,” can receive: complimentary daily meeting room rental, a complimentary afternoon break, one complimentary guest room for every 25 paid, free entrance for attendees to the fitness center (with use of the exercise room, whirlpool, sauna and steam room), free Internet access in all guestrooms, 25% off audiovisual services, and 25% off golf greens fees. To qualify, it must be a new booking with a minimum of 20 rooms per night for at least two nights. Some restrictions may apply.
In addition, some qualified groups also will enjoy no attrition charges.
The renovation of the guest rooms and suites, which was completed in January 2008, included luxurious new bedding and fabrics, the addition of new flat-panel televisions, rich new furnishings, and fresh tropical décor. These latest improvements at the resort followed a six-year, $40 million enhancement and expansion, which was completed in 2006. That project included a $6 million remodeling of the lobby, so that it now provides a stunning view of the Gulf of Mexico.
“Groups just love our greatly-enhanced resort and guest rooms,” said General Manager Jim Gunderson. “Plus, the fact that we have everything on-site – the beach, golf, tennis, and our world-class spa -- means that planners don’t have the inconvenience or expense of transporting attendees all over the place.”
A consistent recipient of many of the meetings industry’s highest honors, the resort offers a variety of venues for meetings and receptions. The 22,000 square feet of meeting space in The Clubhouse provides an impressive view overlooking the championship golf course. Meeting rooms include the 6,283-square-foot River of Grass Ballroom, which can accommodate 676 for receptions, and the 2,457-square-foot Mangrove Ballroom. Groups also can take advantage of beautiful Gulf views, with southwest Florida’s renowned sunsets, in such scenic outdoor venues as the Watkins Lawn and the Ocean Lawn.
Standard offerings in rooms and suites include a private balcony or patio, with a view of the Gulf, lush grounds, or picturesque golf course. Standard amenities include in-room refrigerator, two telephones with voicemail, modem access, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, in-room safe, cable television, in-room coffee, climate control, and security keycards. High-speed wireless Internet access is also available.
Owned and operated by the Watkins family for more than 60 years, the resort features an enviable beachfront location in the heart of scenic Old Naples. Recreational offerings at the 125-acre resort include: 1,000 feet of pristine white-sand beach on the Gulf of Mexico; an on-site par 72 championship golf course; a world-class Spa; complete Fitness Center; a beachfront swimming pool; a Tennis Center with six Har-Tru courts; Beach Klub 4 Kids, a recreational program for children ages five to 12; and an Orchid House, home to over 3,000 tropical plants.
In addition, guests can take advantage of four great restaurants, including the beachfront HB's on the Gulf, and the Seminole Store that serves deli sandwiches, ice cream, gourmet coffees and a variety of freshly baked pizza, pastries and desserts in a café atmosphere. The resort also features four bars, including the popular Sunset Beach Bar, consistently named “Best Place To View A Southwest Florida Sunset” and named “Naples’ Best Beach Bar” by the Travel Channel.
The resort is just blocks from Naples’ renowned shopping districts of fashionable 5th Avenue South and historic 3rd Street South. Venetian Village, Waterside Shops, Bayfront and Tin City are minutes away.
Groups can experience the area by taking tours of the Everglades, Caribbean Gardens, or the Conservancy Nature Center. In addition, boat and fishing trips can be arranged at the hotel. Other leisure time activities can include Naples’ wonderful museums, theatres, and art galleries.
The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club is located at 851 Gulf Shore Blvd. North.
