Oct 4: Groundbreaking Ceremony

On Friday, Sept. 11, Harbor Beach Marriott Resort & Spa held a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction on the beachfront resort's new restaurant, Sea Level, slated to debut in 2010.  The groundbreaking was attended by Mayor John Seiler and City Commissioner Romney Rogers.  

Designed to reflect a modern South Florida ambiance, Sea Level will be a chic destination for hotel guests, local residents and foodies alike, serving gourmet cuisine and expertly handcrafted cocktails.  The 152-seat oceanfront restaurant will be perched 15 feet above the beach providing unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean.  

The introduction of Sea Level will be the final piece of a $50 million resort-wide renovation over the past few years.  The multimillion-dollar redesign also included: a floor-to-ceiling rooms and suites renovation; expansion of The Spa at Harbor Beach fitness center, which nearly doubled in size to 3,750 square feet, introducing new, state-of-the-art fitness machines and a revamped spa kitchen; and the 10,000-square-foot oceanfront ballroom slated to be completed in December.
