SINGER ISLAND, FL. September 18, 2006 - Modern luxury and
sophisticated elegance meet on the white sands of Palm Beach County with the
December 2006 opening of the Resort at Singer Island. Set amidst one of
the most expansive, untouched beachfronts on the Atlantic Coast, the debut of
this Luxury Collection resort, part of Starwood Hotels & Resort Worldwide,
Inc. (NYSE: HOT), signals a sea change for Singer Island, redefining it as one
of the newest and most dynamic oceanfront destinations on Florida's Gold Coast.
Now accepting reservations for February 2007 onwards, the $210 million
all-suite property is the largest luxury hotel real estate development in the
county since 1991.
Located between Jupiter and Palm Beaches, Singer Island's premiere oceanfront
resort features 239 one and two-bedroom suites, 66 residences and all the
amenities and services expected from a world-class property. Guests will
enjoy a formal pool complete with private cabanas and butler service and a
lagoon style grotto pool with waterfall and slide and breathtaking views of the
ocean and the intercoastal waterway. The 21-story resort also features an
Asian-infused/Caribbean Grill, a rum lounge, an 8,500 square foot
ocean-inspired spa, a stunning outdoor terrace with a wedding gazebo and 4,000
square feet of meeting space.
The accommodations at Singer Island will differentiate the resort and elevate
it in the region. Each room will feature 800 to 2,100 square feet of
living space in one and two-bedroom configurations - typical luxury hotel rooms
average 400 square feet. Each suite features a fully equipped high-tech
kitchen, spacious marble bathroom, stylish yet comfortable living spaces with
flat screen t.v.'s , a Bose CD/DVD player as well as spacious balconies.
The design team of Hirsch Bedner is making a statement on Singer Island by
creating the look and feel of contemporary luxury in a comfortable beach resort
setting. Both public spaces and guest rooms feature expansive windows, as
the layout and décor of both public spaces and guest rooms is designed to
underscore the most important feature of the site – the expansive water
views. The sleek interiors center on unique expressions of light, using
unexpected artistic fixtures and turning some of the interior architectural
elements into light sources. The varied blues and greens of the interiors
are punctuated by accents in hues of tropical spice.
The Resort at Singer Island is being developed by WCI Communities – America's
preeminent builder of award-winning communities in Florida, Connecticut,
Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Virginia.
