Key International has completed an expansion project at the Embassy Suites by Hilton St. Augustine Beach (Fla.) Oceanfront Resort.
The expansion includes the addition of a newly constructed wing with 42 suites, updating of event spaces and the extension of the oceanfront pool deck. The project brings the hotel to a total of 217 suites.
The new suites were created to complement the existing layout and design but offer views of Anastasia State Park and the Atlantic Ocean due to the location. The expansion also launches an upgraded premium layout option in two of the suites with oceanview balconies and private children’s room with bunks beds.
“The development of this resort has been a source of great pride for us,” said Shawn Gracey, EVP of hospitality for Key International, in a statement. “From its inception to this expansion, it has continued to perform beyond our expectations. The resort represents our commitment to excellent design, site selection and the development of hospitality projects that create a lasting positive impact well beyond the travel industry.”
The hotel has more than 20,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including a 5,200-square-foot oceanfront ballroom with outdoor terraces and the waterfront Sunrise Event Lawn, which has an infinity pool and direct beach access.
The hotel is 10 minutes from the city’s downtown and adjacent to the St. Augustine Pier.
