Beachside Resort, Key West Opens October 19
The newest resort on Key West
KEY WEST, FL, October 12, 2007. Grab your towel and SPF 30, Beachside Resort & Conference Center is making a splash in Key West on October 19, 2007. The resort will offer the finest accommodations, amenities and dining options in the region. Norman Van Aken, the James Beard Award winning chef whose cuisine is synonymous with Key West has created Town N Tavern, two outstanding restaurants at Beachside. Tavern is scheduled to open October 22, 2007 while Town is slated for a December 1, 2007 debut.
Combining the ultimate in 24 hour concierge service with elegant upscale accommodations, Beachside is comprised of 222 rooms; including 129 one, two and three-bedroom suites and 93 king bedrooms. To set the highest standard possible, each guest room provides marble flooring throughout, oversized balconies with waterfront views, open gourmet kitchens with granite counter tops and stainless built-in appliances, full capacity washer and dryer, high-speed Internet access, sub-zero refrigerator freezer and tinted hurricane glass on all doors and windows. Other plush touches include marble Jacuzzi tubs, Frette linens, fine china kitchenware, amenities by L'Occitane and LCD flat screen televisions. Most third floor suites have a private sundeck above their balconies and first floor accommodations provide a circular staircase down to the gardens.
The versatile Beachside Ballroom is 6,000 square feet, can seat up to 400 and has its own kitchen. Perhaps most notably, the Lobby & Conference Center is constructed with an emergency power generator and can withstand up to 205 mile per hour winds (a typical category five hurricane has winds approximating 155 mph).
Poolside, guests have the option of relaxing under private cabanas and treating themselves to tropical drinks and casual cuisine at "Blue Bar." While "Blue Bar" provides style and stunning views, "Tavern-N-Town" both serve as dining experiences that will surely become quintessential Key West. Known as the "founding father of New World Cuisine," chef Norman Van Aken will offer tapas-style selections in "Tavern" and superb fine dining in, "Town." The elegant spaces share an open "Theater Kitchen" and both have private dining rooms. At the heart of "Tavern" is a mahogany bar that Hemingway would have been proud to frequent.
