COCOA BEACH, Fla.—Driftwood Hospitality Management (DHM) announced the completion of a multimillion-dollar renovation for Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront, a 295-key flagship property on Florida’s Space Coast.
The renovation project included remodeling more than 10,000 square feet of event meeting space and refurbishing the lobby with inspired artwork. Guest rooms were also remodeled with the latest technology and furnishings to reflect the ambiance of coastal living.
“Our goal was to create a welcoming and immersive environment that captures the essence of coastal living,” says David Buddemeyer, founder and president of DHM. “Every aspect of the design, from the color palette to the artwork, has been carefully curated to evoke a sense of relaxation and connection with the stunning beachfront setting. We are proud to be part of this community and are dedicated to creating a destination that both locals and visitors can enjoy for years to come.”
Renovated by Hospitality Project Advisors, Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront included property-wide updates from DHM’s lifestyle division.
“Being part of this renovation in one of the most compelling hotel markets in the country offered a unique opportunity to encapsulate the area’s unique heritage,” says Ed Nystrom, president of Hospitality Project Advisors.
“Like in every other project, we needed to remain conscious of the local culture and implement key characteristics in every part of this project, resulting in a refreshed look for one of the Space Coast’s largest oceanfront properties.”
In addition to the aesthetic updates, the hotel has introduced new amenities and experiences. To delight visitors and guests, the beachfront dining venues, Waves Craft Bar & Kitchen and Castaways Beach Bar, have been updated with new menus featuring coastal cuisine and handcrafted cocktails. The pool lounging area has also been redesigned with a fire pit and a surf-inspired lounge.
Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront is 15 minutes from Port Canaveral and Patrick Space Force Base, 25 minutes away from Kennedy Space Center, and close to several eco-tourism adventure hotspots.
