Following a $55 Million Transformation, The Seagate Becomes Delray Beach’s First Ever Autograph Collection Property

The Seagate Hotel, Golf & Beach Club proudly announces its debut as the first Autograph Collection property in Delray Beach following a comprehensive $55 million transformation encompassing the hotel, private Beach Club and championship Golf Club. This milestone reinforces The Seagate’s standing as Delray Beach’s premier luxury destination, bringing expanded global visibility, world-class operational support and elevated brand distinction, all while maintaining The Seagate’s private ownership, distinctive culture and renowned guest experience under Turnberry, a leader in world-class placemaking.

Located along Atlantic Avenue, just steps from the ocean, The Seagate has been a beloved destination since opening in 2009. The property’s extensive reimagining blends classic Caribbean influences with the relaxed sophistication of Florida’s coastal homes.

With just 157 guestrooms and suites, The Seagate has been purposefully reimagined as an exclusive, boutique resort offering a highly personalized experience for discerning travelers and Bonvoy members. The property remains privately owned and operated by Turnberry, the award-winning developer and operator behind acclaimed destinations such as Aventura Mall, JW Marriott Nashville and the forthcoming Grand Hyatt Miami Beach.

This next chapter underscores Turnberry’s expertise in placemaking – creating spaces of enduring beauty, community connection, and exceptional service – while celebrating The Seagate’s legacy as a beloved coastal retreat at the heart of Delray Beach since 2009.

A Transformation Across Every Touchpoint

Led by Turnberry, the multi-year renovation touches every facet of The Seagate experience, blending craftsmanship, comfort and coastal sophistication:

• The Hotel: Newly re-envisioned guestrooms and suites by Watts & Dray, feature handcrafted details, curated local art, and textural finishes that reflect Delray Beach’s relaxed coastal elegance.
• Meetings & Events: Over 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, spanning intimate boardrooms, light-filled salons, and ocean-view terraces, has been reimagined to host gatherings that balance style and functionality, positioning The Seagate as Delray Beach’s premier destination for bespoke celebrations and executive retreats.
• The Beach Club: The two-story oceanfront retreat, redesigned by Saguez & Dash, offers expansive ocean-view dining, a refreshed pool deck, and a new cocktail bar and terrace lounge.
• The Golf Club: The 18-hole championship course and racquet complex were modernized by architect J. Drew Rogers, introducing re-sculpted greens, refined bunkering, and enhanced landscaping.
• The Spa & Wellness Sanctuary: An 8,000-square-foot coastal haven offering holistic, nature-inspired treatments and relaxation.
• Culinary Program: Three distinct dining concepts, including Bourbon Steak by Michelin-starred Chef Michael Mina, set within a sumptuous dining room envisioned by Martin Brudnizki.

A Refined Redesign Rooted in Art and Craft

The Seagate’s transformation marries elegant detailing with inviting, art-filled spaces. Watts & Dray employed a palette of sand-hued limewash and Dutch blue, accented with hand-painted Delft tiles imported from Amsterdam, alongside custom handmade rugs by Marc Phillips and Le Labo bath amenities.

Every material and detail reflects Turnberry’s commitment to timeless design and a deep sense of place, marrying artisanal tradition with contemporary ease. The result is an atmosphere of quiet sophistication.

Reimagined Experiences for Guests and Members

As both a hotel and private members’ club, The Seagate offers an unrivaled suite of experiences:

• The Seagate Beach Club: A historic, two-story oceanfront destination reimagined by Saguez & Dash, offering fine dining, a cocktail bar, and breezy terrace seating with panoramic ocean views.
• The Seagate Golf Club: A recently renovated, 18-hole championship course designed by J. Drew Rogers, complemented by tennis and pickleball courts.
• The Seagate Yacht Club: A 44-slip marina complete with clubhouse, sun deck, lounge areas, and provisioning services, a rare coastal amenity that celebrates Delray Beach’s nautical heritage.
• The Seagate Spa: A sanctuary for rejuvenation, featuring holistic treatments rooted in coastal tranquility.
• The Pool Deck: Refreshed with lush landscaping, Moorish-inspired cabanas, and relaxed lounge seating for effortless leisure.
• The Seagate Private Members Club: Over 650 active members and a growing waitlist, offering a premier membership experience centered around golf, beach, and wellness.

Culinary Excellence at The Seagate

• Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina: The chef’s first restaurant in Palm Beach County, featuring a Martin Brudnizki–designed dining room, two private dining spaces, and Mina’s signature modern steakhouse cuisine.
• Mr. Seas: A members- and guests-only beachside restaurant offering bold flavors, craft cocktails, and relaxed seaside dining.
• Venetian Street: An intimate hideaway blending Italian la dolce vita with Florida flair through sea-inspired cocktails and small plates.
• The Gate Café: The property’s casual spot for artisan coffee, pastries, and light fare throughout the day.
