The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club has received another prestigious honor, as it was presented with “The Green to Gold Award” by the Economic Development Council (EDC) of Collier County, Florida, for “best exemplifying green leadership.” The award was presented to the Southwest Florida resort during the EDC’s “27th Annual Excellence in Industry Awards.” Accepting the award for the resort was President Michael Watkins and General Manager Jason Parsons.

“The Green to Gold Award” is presented to an organization that exhibits leadership in advocating the sustainable management of resources and the stewardship of the natural environment. The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club, a certified participant in Florida’s Green Lodging Program, incorporates an array of environmentally-friendly initiatives into its operation. Initiatives include a comprehensive resort-wide recycling program, which includes glass, paper, aluminum, plastic, ink jet printer cartridges, and items from renovation projects. The resort also utilizes “Green Sealed” cleaning products, has an energy-saving air conditioning system, utilizes highly energy-efficient lighting, has an advanced hydro-grid watering system for the Har-Tru courts at its Mary C. Watkins Tennis Center, purchases from local vendors whenever possible, uses Energy Star-rated equipment, and features an on-site Orchid House program.

“We’re proud to be recognized with this honor,” said Parsons. “It is very important to our core values to be environmentally-friendly, so we’re particularly pleased to be recognized for these endeavors.”

This honor follows other recent awards presented to the resort, which includes Successful Meetings’ prestigious “Pinnacle Award,” MeetingNews magazine’s highly-coveted “Planners’ Choice Award,” and Meetings South’s “Best of the South Award.”

Continually enhancing its already-impressive offerings, the 319-room resort completed a $22 million renovation in 2010. The multi-phase project included the renovation of guest rooms and suites, and the addition of a new beachfront pool complex.

Newly remodeled accommodations now feature cool tropical color linens, fabrics and carpeting; flat-panel televisions; patio or balcony (with a view of the Gulf, golf course or the lush resort interior); coffee maker; and refrigerator.

The new beachfront pool complex features: two pools, two whirlpools, a pool bar with food service, restrooms, and locker facilities, as well as a pool/ recreational shop. Picturesque tall palms encircle the complex, which is further complemented by direct beach access.

In addition to being renowned for its location and complete resort offerings, The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club offers 34,000 square feet of meeting, event and convention facilities. The Clubhouse overlooks Naples’ original golf course and features the 6,283-square-foot River of Grass Ballroom; the 2,457-square-foot Mangrove Ballroom; up to 7 additional breakouts; and spectacular indoor/outdoor pre-function space. Oceanside affords three additional meeting venues including the 3,640-square-foot Sunset Terrace, as well as the Ocean and Watkins Lawns with over 8,000 square feet of beachside event space. A full-service business center, audio-visual by AVI, wireless high-speed internet, and a professional conference service planning team round out the meeting amenities.

Owned and operated by the Watkins family for more than 60 years, the resort features: 1,000 feet of pristine white-sand beach; an on-site par 72 championship golf course; a world-class Spa; complete Fitness Center; the Mary C. Watkins 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 signature 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 multiple bars, including the famed 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 and guests can experience the area by taking tours of the Everglades, Caribbean Gardens, Corkscrew Swamp, The Botanical 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’ outstanding museums, theatres, and art galleries.
