This fall will see the $22million renovation and rebranding of one of the oldest hotels in Key West, the Southern Cross hotel as it is re-christened the Saint Hotel Key West.
David Mark Wyant, Sr., owner and developer of the Saint Hotel New Orleans snapped up the historic property, which will open its revamped doors October 2014.
“When I saw this property I knew it was a rare find, a perfect location for the eccentric and fun-loving spirit of The Saint Hotel brand,” said Mr. Wyant….I promise you that The Saint Hotel Key West will offer a new, different and exciting hotel choice for the millions of leisure travelers who come to this beautiful island.”
