This exceptional resort will introduce an idyllic destination with five culinary concepts, superior pool experiences, exclusive access to golf, and old-world hospitality
WEST PALM BEACH, FLA. – Witkoff in collaboration with Access Industries and Pyramid Global Hospitality today announce a signed agreement with Marriott International to open The Belgrove, Autograph Collection. Anticipated to open at the end of 2024, The Belgrove will be located along Lake Mangonia just 10 minutes from the heart of Palm Beach and is a one-of-a-kind modern oasis celebrating polished elegance and laid-back luxury, complemented by the rich culture of Palm Beach.
The Belgrove’s stunning property-wide transformation—next to the critically acclaimed golf course Dutchman’s Pipe—is expected to encompass 150 guest rooms as well as public spaces, including the arrival experience and lobby, food and beverage outlets, fitness and spa facilities, two pools and outdoor patio areas, and expansive meeting and function spaces. Anticipated by 2025, twenty-two villas will be constructed to provide additional inventory and investment opportunities. The hotel’s sunny, sophisticated design will bring in arefreshing atmosphere of vibrant living and timeless charm, unlike anything in the area.
The newly enhanced resort will mark an impressive addition to the portfolios of each esteemed company, showcasing a significant investment in the market from companies with highly successful track records within the industry. The Belgrove will join Autograph Collection Hotels’ portfolio of over 320 independent properties in the most desirable locations across the world, each with its own unique perspective on heartfelt design and hospitality.
“We are excited to announce the arrival of The Belgrove, a highly anticipated resort property, years in the making,” said Jonah Sonnenborn, senior managing director and head of real estate at Access Industries. “The resort will offer families, friends, and groups a place to gather and share special milestones. We are honored to have incredible partners on this project and look forward to welcoming future guests and the local community.”
REIMAGINED GUEST ROOMS AND SUITES
The Belgrove’s elevated and thoughtfully designed accommodations will feature spacious interiors with refined, laid-back island charm. Expected amenities include private balconies with expansive views of the natural splendor surrounding the resort and neighboring golf course. Suites and larger format rooms will boast ample dining space, encouraging guests to take advantage of the private dining and butler services to come.
“Our mission is to cultivate an ambiance of British Caribbean hospitality throughout our rooms and suites,” states Kai Fischer, managing director of The Belgrove. “Each room is meticulously designed to evoke a sense of refined tranquility, providing an escape from the demands of daily life.”
CREATIVE CULINARY EXCELLENCE
As part of the onsite amenities, The Belgrove will introduce five distinct dining concepts that will cater to a broad range of tastes and preferences. Stand-out concepts include Society48, which will be an imaginative American brasserie featuring a menu of globally inspired dishes from land and sea. Deep End, inspired by the 1950’s in West Palm Beach, will have a full-service pool bar and kitchen featuring refined approaches to poolside fare, as well as a beautiful garden space, Veranda, which will host daily teatimes, happy hours, and social gatherings.
EXCLUSIVE ACCESS TO EXCEPTIONAL GOLF
Guests of The Belgrove will enjoy resort access to the recently debuted, members-only golf course, Dutchman’s Pipe. Providing a highly sought-after golf experience for travelers of every skill level, this convenient partnership will allow resort guests to book tee times, based on availability, as well as private lessons, clinics, and caddie services with the opportunity to participate in hosted golf tournaments.
Dutchman’s Pipe will redefine the golfing experience with its multi-million-dollar renovation of a 7,300-yard championship Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and unparalleled practice facilities. The course’s recent overhaul brings meticulous attention to playability, aesthetics, and sustainability with all-new fairways, revamped bunkers, and strategic green complexes to optimize the routing’s flow and bring visual allure to every shot. Surrounded by palm trees and the native Dutchman’s Pipe flower, the new course offers a world-class golf experience for guests and groups of The Belgrove without membership or initiation fees.
POOLSIDE LUXURY
Under the canopies of South Florida’s iconic palm trees, the hotel will feature a tranquil poolside experience, offering both a family-friendly pool and an adults-only pool. The pool deck will offer 16 expansive poolside cabanas and a variety of engaging programming ranging from morning yoga to evening happy hour specials, and more.
INTENTIONAL WELLNESS
With holistic practices at the center of The Belgrove’s wellness ethos, the hotel will provide an array of curated offerings intended to support health, wellbeing, and restoration, including The Belgrove Spa that will feature expansive treatment rooms and suites. Men’s and women’s lounges include thoughtfully designed relaxation spaces, private locker rooms, showers, and steam rooms, while complimentary wet areas include cold plunges and saunas for guests to further their wellness practice before or after treatments.
The resort’s fitness center will offer expert-guided classes and programming as well as a variety of cardio machines, heavy lifting machines, weight racks, and strengthening tools, in addition to complimentary yoga mats, cool towels, and more. Just steps away, four tennis courts, two pickleball courts, and one padel court will be available for leisure, lessons, and group tournaments.
