“We are delighted to be participating in the on-going success of the Sandestin development,” said Randy Hall, president and CEO of Batson-Cook. “This hotel will be the first on resort property to offer guests full access to its many amenities, so we are working diligently to reach completion and celebrate the grand opening with the owner.”

“The hotel's architectural character blends seamlessly with the Grand and Baytowne developments while announcing a new level of quality,” stated Pope Bullock, AIA, principal and vice president of Cooper Carry. 

Highgate, a premier real estate investment and hospitality management company, has been tapped to manage the newly developed hotel.  Additionally, celebrity Chef Hugh Acheson will partner to develop the new hotel’s culinary offerings.
