Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort

Character and identity

Opened in November 2025 on the site of the original Naples Beach Hotel, this 125-acre Gulf-front property reframes Old Naples cottage style through a contemporary lens. Hart Howerton's seven-story, C-shaped, all-balcony building sits low against Gulf Shore Boulevard, with Champalimaud interiors layering pecky cypress ceilings, blonde floors, palm-leaf bas-reliefs and pops of flamingo pink and periwinkle lacquer. There are 220 rooms (57 suites), five restaurants including Gavin Kaysen's The Merchant Room and the reborn HB's and Sunset Bar, plus the tri-level, 30,000-square-foot Sanctuary Spa with hydrotherapy circuit and Harley Pasternak gym. Service is attentive and unfussy.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The defining draw is a fully rebuilt, design-led Four Seasons grafted onto Naples' most storied sunset spot, with cooking and a spa programme that finally match the setting. Book a Gulf-view room for the balcony and sightlines; families should target an oceanfront corner suite, and anyone after the new Sabal Suite needs to wait for early 2026. Reserve HB's for an early beachfront dinner to dodge the Sunset Bar crush.
