The Seagate Hotel, Golf & Beach Club has completed a $55m renovation programme and reopened as the first Autograph Collection hotel in Delray Beach, Florida, US.

The property sits on Atlantic Avenue near the beach and originally opened in 2009.

The hotel has 157 rooms and suites and is owned and operated by developer and operator Turnberry, which led the multi-year renovation project that expanded to all areas of The Seagate.

Watts & Dray designed newly updated guest rooms and suites using custom-made details and local artwork.

More than 20,000ft² of meeting space was redesigned. Spaces now include boardrooms, salons with natural light, and terraces with ocean views for events ranging from business meetings to private gatherings.

Saguez & Dash redesigned the two-level beachfront club with expanded ocean-view dining options, an improved pool area, a new bar, and terrace lounge.

Architect J Drew Rogers updated the 18-hole golf course and racquet facilities by reworking greens, improving bunkers, and making landscape changes.

Among the updates provided includes an 8,000ft² spa area that provides wellness treatments. In addition, three restaurants operate on-site.

Turnberry hospitality operations executive vice-president Mary Rogers said: "Our goal at The Seagate is to deliver a nuanced and personal experience for our guests, one that feels rooted to the local community of Delray Beach with our signature Turnberry sense of style.

"Through intentional design, bespoke service, and a strong sense of place, we've elevated every touchpoint of our guests' journey. Our partnership with the Autograph Collection will only allow us to build upon this progress and share with the world what The Seagate and Turnberry have in store."

Earlier this month, Marriott International launched the first property under Autograph Collection in the Maldives.
