“IT’S NOT JUST A HOTEL, IT’S A STATE OF MIND.”
FINS UP PENSACOLA…JIMMY
BUFFETT’S NEW
MARGARITAVILLE BEACH HOTEL
SET TO OPEN THIS SUMMER IN PENSACOLA BEACH, FL.
surrounds himself with fabulous people,” she said. “We are so
fortunate that he has such a love for our Gulf Coast.”
“About a month ago, I had a meeting with Marilyn Hess
in Gulf Shores to just look at possibilities of doing something on
the Gulf Coast with the Sabine Company, but what happened next was
beyond my wildest dreams,” explains Jimmy Buffett. “I guess you
never quite know what is going to happen when you take a road trip
east on Highway 98; sometimes things come together for a reason.
Having grown up in Mobile, Pensacola Beach was the first Florida I
ever saw long before I headed to Key West. It is great to be coming
home and making a commitment to Pensacola and the Gulf Coast,
especially at this time. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we
have a great bunch of people to do it. Fins Up Pensacola, here we
come.”
The Margaritaville Beach Hotel is set on over 800
stunning feet of gulf front property, with an additional 800 feet
overlooking the bay. This new beachfront hotel features 162 guest
rooms and suites appointed with barefoot elegance as well as the
high tech touches that guests expect and enjoy. Inspired by the
lyrics and lifestyle of Jimmy Buffett, the hotel’s sense of place
and attention to detail make it the perfect setting for guests who
want to escape the everyday, engage their senses and make lasting
memories. Anyone who has ever dreamed of escaping to a tropical
island and sipping a margarita will enjoy being immersed in the
Margaritaville experience at this hotel.
When guests walk through the doors of this Florida
Vernacular-styled hotel they will be greeted by a panoramic view of
the Gulf of Mexico and a warm welcome. Visitors will be served fresh
Florida orange juice upon arrival, calling to mind the hospitality
of Florida’s early years as a vacation destination. The
island-inspired surroundings will feature spectacular art, teak and
reclaimed oak furnishings, ceiling fans and breathtaking views. The
gulf front restaurant will be a great addition to the local dining
scene, serving fresh coastal cuisine with a southern accent. In
addition to this restaurant a Margaritaville Restaurant will be
opened in the next phase of the development giving guests even more
entertainment choices.
The Margaritaville Beach Hotel will be more than a
destination; it will be an entire change in latitude (and a change
in attitude). Vacationers have the option of enjoying beach
activities or just kicking back and soaking in the sun and doing
nothing at all (with a cool boat drink, of course). Other features
include a business center, health/fitness room and group/meeting
facilities for smaller corporate and social events. A water park is
planned for the future which will add to the hotel’s high
entertainment value.
As expected, music will play a starring role in the
overall atmosphere of the hotel with island music on the pool deck
and beach pavilion, the Margaritaville station on the in-room SIRIUS
Radio and seasonal live music.
"The Pensacola Bay Area boasts 450 years of history,
as well as premier museums, breathtaking white-sand beaches, a
variety of adventure by land and sea, and now, the world's first
Margaritaville Beach Hotel," said Ed Schroeder, director of the
Pensacola Bay Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Community response
has been exciting and overwhelming, and we know Margaritaville will
have global appeal for visitors. We're thrilled to see the property
open in paradise, Pensacola Beach."
