The
Spartanburg, South Carolina-based hotel development and management company
acquired the former Best Western Key Ambassador Resort Inn in September
2018, planning to remodel and rebrand the hotel. The property underwent
an extensive renovation, including taking all 101 guest rooms and bathrooms
down to the studs and rebuilding them.
“When
we purchased this property, we had a very distinct vision of what we could
bring to Key West with our relationship with the Hampton by Hilton brand,”
said Corry Oakes, CEO of OTO Development. “It’s great to see that vision
come to life and we look forward to introducing this brand into such a
highly desirable travel market.”
In
addition to guest room renovations, the project included updates to the
hotel’s swimming pool, including the poolside Cheekie Hut bar and grill;
the parking lots were resurfaced; a new fitness center was added; and the
lobby was completely renovated.
Every
Hampton by Hilton guest will enjoy the brand’s signature free, hot breakfast
with healthy options; On the Run™ breakfast bags; and free WiFi in every
room. Hampton continues to lead the pack in terms of guest experience,
with Hampton by Hilton Team Members committed to delivering friendly and
authentic service, backed by the industry-leading 100% Hampton Guarantee™.
Located
at 3755 S. Roosevelt Boulevard, the new hotel is convenient to Key West
International Airport as well as many of the island’s feature attractions.
The hotel has added a complimentary shuttle to take guests to and from
the airport and to many of the island’s top draws, including Mallory Square,
Old Town, the Hemingway House, and Duval Street.
OTO
Development, part of The Johnson Group, worked with general contractor
Marino Construction Group and architect Thomas E. Pope, PA, both local
Key West companies, to design and construct the renovations over the course
of approximately 14 months.
