Brand-new Key West hotel ready for $80 million in Naples

The developers of a 160-room boutique hotel along the Cocohatchee River in North Naples say the building will open this autumn under the moniker The Perry, which launched in Key West in 2017.

The $80 million project is located at 12155 Tamiami Trail N., Naples. The hotel, according to a release, has seven stories. The hotel has spacious guest rooms, most with balconies, a ground-floor pool and adjacent activity lawn, a poolside tapas eatery, a lobby coffee bar, a fitness center, an open-air deck with a rooftop pool, a poolside bar specializing in craft cocktails, and the rooftop Tigress Restaurant, a full-service venue serving chef-driven Asian-fusion cuisine and panoramic views, according to a recent article by Mark Gordon of Business Observer.

“The Perry Hotel Naples’ opening will significantly change the landscape for destination hotels available to travelers visiting Southwest Florida,” says Mike Raymond, CEO of FOD Capital, the project’s developer, in the release.

The hotel’s mood and surroundings, according to the developers, are heavily influenced by the local native ecology, which includes a riverine estuary, a mangrove forest, and an upland forest of native pines, oaks, and palm trees. According to the statement, the two-story foyer features rustic materials like exposed brick, stone, and light woods, which “are offset by steel beams, metal chandeliers, and leather seating.” Casa Conde & Associates is the design firm.

Water is also an important subject. A promenade leads from the pool deck through the mangrove-infused nature reserve area to the riverfront pier, which has an eight-slip marina and dock. The property also has direct channel access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park beaches.

“The area has become increasingly desirable for travelers due to its proximity to nearby beaches, golf courses, world-class shopping, and other areas for outdoor recreation,” FOD Capital CFO Matt Strunk said in the announcement. “The Perry Hotel Naples will be a wonderful destination hotel for travelers and locals alike.”
