St. Regis Longboat Key to be unveiled Aug. 16 for soft opening

The time has finally come. 

The St. Regis Longboat Key will host an unveiling ceremony on Aug. 16, which will give the local community a preview of the resort, according to a press release. 

“This milestone event will mark the introduction of the only St. Regis to debut in the U.S. in 2024 and represents the island’s most significant development in half a century,” the press release states. 

After the unveiling ceremony, the resort will be open for a soft launch. The soft opening will include select rooms, the 20,000-square-foot spa and five food and beverage venues. 

The release goes on to say that the St. Regis Longboat Key will be officially opening in late September. 

When it is open in its full capacity, the 18-acre resort will include 800 feet of private beach, multiple pools, seven dining outlets, a saltwater lagoon and wildlife experiences with stingrays, tortoises and tropical fish. The average room rate at the St. Regis Longboat Key is around $1,200 a night.
