The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort hosted an unveiling ceremony, offering the local Sarasota community an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated resort as it commenced its soft opening. Select rooms, the expansive 20,000-square-foot spa and five food and beverage venues are open as of today. Restaurants currently available for reservations to the public and hotel guests. As drinks & hors d’oeuvres were served by St. Regis Butlers, Anthony Capuano, President and CEO of Marriott International, Bob Kharazmi, Managing Director of Marriott International Luxury Operations Brands U.S. & Canada, Chuck Whittall, Founder and CEO of Unicorp National Developments and Winfred van Workum, General Manager of The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort welcomed guests into the Great Hall for remarks. Following the speeches, a kabuki curtain dropped from the 18ft floor to ceiling windows unveiling the resort’s breathtaking views of private white sand beach meeting the endless blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico while an aerialist performed as a nod to Sarasota’s iconic Ringling Circus history. Guests were captivated as the event concluded with the St. Regis ritual of champagne sabering before being led on property tours and sampling cuisines of the many restaurants.
