FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 21 // -- After finalizing its
acquisition of the Fort Lauderdale Marina Marriott, LXR Luxury Resorts today
announced a $50 million capital investment program to enhance the ideally
located waterfront property as the new Fort Lauderdale Grande Hotel & Yacht
Club.
"We intend to create one of the countrys leading marina resorts - one
that embodies the unique Fort Lauderdale style and sets a new standard for
contemporary luxury," said John Tolbert, LXR president of sales and marketing.
"With a spectacular new interior by internationally renowned designer Robert
Barry and an exciting new signature restaurant as elements of the hotels
revitalization plan, the Fort Lauderdale Grande Hotel & Yacht Club will become
one of South Floridas pre-eminent destinations for group and leisure travel."
Situated on Floridas majestic Intracoastal Waterway, the Fort Lauderdale

property in LXRs fast-growing collection of luxury resorts and hotels.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to bring the Fort Lauderdale
Grande Hotel & Yacht Club to its full potential and we intend to expedite
enhancements, starting with repairs needed from last years hurricane damage,"
said John Carns, hotel manager. Carns is one of Floridas leading hotel
executives with more than 20 years of experience in the hotel industry. Most
recently, he was interim general manager at Cheeca Lodge & Spa in Islamorada,
and director of operations at The Ritz Carlton Resort in Naples.
"The concept of luxury today begins with the finest quality and most
exquisite surroundings, and encompasses the true pleasures of personalized yet
unobtrusive service, absolute comfort and unforgettable moments," added
Tolbert. "Each property in our LXR Luxury Resorts collection has a talented
and experienced management team, supported by the creative and culinary
talents to reinvigorate, re-imagine, and reposition each property, evoking its
own unique personality and locale."
With the addition of the Fort Lauderdale Grande Hotel & Yacht Club, LXR
Luxury Resorts represents one of the largest collections of hotels and resorts
in Florida. The collections 15 Florida properties now include the Boca Raton
Resort & Club in Boca Raton; Naples Grande Resort & Club (formerly The

The three Fort Lauderdale properties offer leisure and business travelers
an impressive 1,238 guestrooms and 410 marina slips on the Intracoastal
Waterway.
Tolbert said LXRs aggressive capital investments are designed to realize
the true potential of each property and convey its innate personality,
including a strong sense of place. The investments include an across-the-board
upgrade in services and amenities, and, in many cases, a return to the
particular propertys original "DNA," albeit reinterpreted for the 21st
century traveler. "We aim to respect the integrity and unique offerings that
each of these trophy assets has to offer," he added, "and will strive to
heighten the distinct personality of each while offering our guests an
unfailing commitment to excellence and a consistent, highly personalized
